Acres of space – a magical place!
Far more than a castle – one of the most exciting destinations
in North Wales
Symbol of wealth
Built on the Pennant family fortune made from slaves, sugar and
slate, this vast 19th century neo-Norman creation captures everyone’s
imagination. Creeper-clad turrets rise majestically in the landscape
with views to the dramatic peaks of Snowdonia and the glittering
Menai Strait.
Extravagant past
Re-live the days of Victorian opulence in lavishly furnished rooms
richly hung with dazzling silks and hand-painted Chinese wallpaper.
Marvel at the collection of Old Master paintings. Explore the warren
of rooms ‘below stairs’ where an army of servants held
sway.
Time to play
Wander and picnic in 50 acres of landscaped grounds. Let the children
clamber in the adventure playground. Visit the railway museum and
see steam engines restored to their former glory. Enjoy delicious
local produce in the licensed tea rooms.
A varied and exciting programme of events for all the family. See
our online calendar www.nationaltrust.org.uk/events
