Bodelwyddan Castle in North Wales

Bodelwyddan Castle - close up frontal view in 2009
Bodelwyddan Castle in the county of Denbighshire in North
Wales, was formerly known as Bodelwyddan Hall. The estate can
trace its
history back
to the middle of the 15th century, and for many years it was
the home of the Williams family, who were invloved in lead
mining.
In 1920 the Williams family sold the estate to Lowther College,
which it continued to be until the 1970's.
Today, Bodelwyddan Castle is a visitor attraction and also Bodelwyddan
Castle Hotel, and in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery
has on display many important
paintings. In addition to being able to view the impressive
house there are woodlands, cultivated gardens, a garden maze,
an aviary, and aviary gardens. Remaining from the First World
War are trenches used by trainee troops prior to being shipped
off to War in France. There is also a 19th century games room,
tea rooms, and a souvenir shop.
We spent a lovely day there - weather was great, courtesy of
the Lord - my advice, take a picnic and enjoy the surrounding
countyside and excellent views.
