Set in 200 acres of parkland, with breathtaking views of the Clwydian Hills, the Grade II listed Bodelwyddan Castle offers an experience that’s truly unforgettable. Its ivy clad turrets, commanding hilltop position and sense of solid indomitability suggests a medieval stronghold, but its history is altogether more benign. It was the intention of the Victorians in 1830 not to raise a fortress, but to display a family’s wealth as visibly and romantically as possible. And you’re part of a fairytale from the moment you cross Bodelwyddan’s Gothic threshold.
Bodelwyddan Castle is packed with things to do - it is attached to the National Portrait Gallery’s inventive museum - the Victorian Collection. There is croquet and other indoor and outdoor facilities including pool and health suite and a four rink indoor Bowls complex plus the fabulous woodland setting with sensory garden. |
