| Description |
This is not a genuine castle – it was built in the Victorian era to look like a Norman fortress! The sixty acres of grounds include parkland, an extensive exotic tree and shrub collection and a Victorian walled garden which contains plants you wouldn’t expect to find thriving on the Menai Strait, such palms, maidenhair trees, jasminium climbers and Chinese gooseberries. |
