Wonderful castle, and beautiful garden. The bog garden leaves much to be desired... but the walled gardens are beautiful. The castle is wonderful, and has great views of the bay. Nice walk on the way up, and there is a shuttle if you want to take it. Just a lovely place to go round and explore. Staff were very knowledgeable.
At just over 200 years old, this is a relatively new castle designed and rebuilt by its owners to impress visitors and display their wealth.
The opulence of the interior, the abundant intricate masonry work, and the monolithic scale of the decor is overwhelming.
It's mind-boggling to think how many great trees were felled in its making, probably one for each of the huge three inch thick interior doors alone.
The grounds also boast several separate garden areas and plenty of paths around the estate to enjoy the scenery.
If you want to be able to go somewhere where you gasp in wonder when entering nearly every room, then visit Penrhyn Castle.
I loved this place. Not because if what they had done to it but because the lavish styles and size of the rooms were fascinating. The castle was large and interesting. The guides patiently waiting I various rooms were very helpful and had a wealth of knowledge. The grounds were interesting and there was space just to wander. The day we went it wasn't too busy and that added to it's charm.
