NORTH WALES COAST

01

Gwrych Castle is a Grade I listed country house in North Wales and is one of the first attempts at replicating true medieval architecture in Europe. The trust began the monumental task of rescuing the castle & estate over 20 years ago and are committed to securing a long-term future for Gwrych Castle and its estate. You may recognise Gwrych Castle as the home to ITV’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! for two consecutive years.

02

Conwy Castle Thanks to restored spiral staircases in its great towers you can walk a complete circuit around the battlements of Conwy Castle. We highly recommend it. This is one of the most magnificent medieval fortresses in Europe. In the distance rise the craggy mountains of Snowdonia and spread out below you are the harbour and narrow streets of Conwy - still protected by an unbroken 1,400-yard (1.3km) ring of town walls. It’s enough to take the breath away. Especially when you consider that King Edward I and his architect Master James of St George built both castle and walls in a barely believable four years between 1283 and 1287. By car from Gwyrch Castle 20 mins (SAT NAV LL32 8AY)

03

Penrhyn Castle Nestled in between the mountains of Snowdonia and the sea, stunning Penrhyn Castle is easily accessible yet feels set apart from the rest of the world. Offering opulent Victorian interiors, train & doll museums, beautiful gardens & views and even an adventure playground, there really is something for everyone – including a traditional tearoom for refreshment! A unique experience, come and visit us to make memories that will last a lifetime.

By car from Conwy Castle 30 mins (SAT NAV LL57 4HT)
