On a hill overlooking the North Wales coastline lies a rather unique Castle named Gwrych 
You could say she's quite something to behold with Gothic Arches and searing towers.
But historically the site is young in comparison, and not actually a Castle at all.
Could have fooled me though! It has all the attributes.
Wouldn't you agree!
It is actually a Victorian Folly, and was built as a memorial.
Here's a link to some history for those interested.... http://www.gwrychtrust.co.uk/general.html
You just can't help but stand in awe of It's splendour.
Aesthetically pleasing sums it up.
The Arches.
Not much of interest left to photograph inside really, apart from the staircase and the Gothic entrance to it. The rest is rather unstable.
I'm so glad I got the chance to see it in the flesh.
Was a real eye opener for sure
I understand the place has now been sold! So I'm not sure as to the state of play here now,as my shots were taken some time back
Explored during a wild weekend in Wales with Fannyadams, Judderman, Evilnoodle, Ceejam & Theoss.
As always.......Thanks for looking.
