A family’s home was dictated by their wealth and status. As Wales was a more stable country by this time, the nobility gave more emphasis to comfort than defending their home. They managed to take advantage of the dissolution of the monasteries to build large estates. Some An interpretation of Hendre’r-ywydd Uchaf Farmhouse noblemen began to adapt the medieval in the time of the Tudors. hall houses by adding floors and wings. Others built brand new homes – showing the latest British fashions. When there was enough wood, homes with black and white frameworks were built. Stone was popular too, and the latest material, brick. The fashionable elements were: a stepped gable-end; tall chimneys as a status symbol; long galleries; grand fireplaces, decorated with the families’ coat of arms, and lead windows with small panes of glass. Inside, there was beautiful plaster work on the ceilings, and the walls were covered with tapestries or wood panels. The farmers also adapted small old medieval hall houses, but these changes reflect local, regional fashions. They used the available resources, e.g. stone in Gwynedd and wood or cloam in mid Wales; with straw or reed thatched roofs, or slate. The fireplaces were moved to the outer walls, and stone chimneys were built to carry the smoke away. Large, round chimneys are a special feature of some Tudor farmhouses in Pembrokeshire. The windows would have wooden shutters in order to be waterproof. In areas where animals were kept, in mid and south-west Wales, the long house was A hearth similar to those found in some popular.

Y mae’n dilyn dyffryn rhewlifol, dwfn sy’n canlyn ffawt daearegol, ac y mae ganddi orlifdiroedd sylweddol ac aber helaeth. Ceir yn ei blaenau ymdeimlad cryf o gyfyngu gan dir uwch, yn enwedig llethrau coediog, serth Eryri yn y gorllewin, o ble mae sawl nant yn byrlymu i lawr ceunentydd. Erbyn ei rhan ganol, fodd bynnag, mae’n ymddolennu’n dawel heibio i ddolydd gleision, gan gynnwys ystâd enwog Bodnant, sydd a’i gerddi’n denu ymwelwyr lawer. Mae ei haber yn wahanol eto, yn brysur â chychod, gyda thref hanesyddol Conwy a’i chastell trawiadol Eingl-normanaidd (Safle treftadaeth y Byd) yn y gorllewin, a thref fwy cyfoes Deganwy yn y dwyrain. Er yn cynnwys trefi Conwy a Llanrwst, a sawl pentref mawr a mân, cymeriad gwledig iawn sydd i’r fro hon.

It follows a deep, fault-guided, glacial valley and contains significant flood plain and estuary areas. The upper (southern-most) section has a strong sense of containment by rising land, especially from the steep wooded slopes of Snowdonia to the west, from which a number of small rivers issue down tumbling gorges.

  • A Brief History by WILL SWALES Welcome
    a brief history BY WILL SWALES welcome Welcome to a brief history of The Castle Hotel, Conwy, North Wales. During the late spring and early summer of 2016 we had the good fortune to be able to revitalise and refurbish one of our fabulous sister inns, The King’s Head in Richmond, North Yorkshire. During the planning stage of this project we started to look hard at the building and its many historical attributes, at how some parts of the building had been added during its 300 years of existence. And whilst contemplating the small changes and additions we wanted to make, it dawned on me that we will only be its custodians for a generation or two at most. I can’t foretell who will follow but started thinking about who had been its keepers in the past. Therefore, we asked a good friend if he would research The King’s Head and try to separate the fact from the fable; what’s true and what has been elaborated during the storytelling process over the years. Will Swales made such a good job of The King’s Head that we then asked him to complete the same task for The Castle Hotel. What follows is that research. We think it’s as accurate as can be, but naturally there are many gaps and we would welcome any additional information. I hope you enjoy this small booklet and the hospitality and service we provide within The Castle Hotel. We are now busy researching the other inns we own and operate within our group and hope that eventually we will have all our inns within one publication, but until then please feel free to take this copy with you.

  • 18 April 2019. Dear , ATISN 13078 – Freedom of Information Request
    18 April 2019. Dear , ATISN 13078 – Freedom of Information Request – Caerphilly Castle. Thank you for your request, which was received on 21st March 2019, about Caerphilly Castle. The information you requested is enclosed. A copy of all proposals, in their current form for the Castle, its grounds and waters (also referred to elsewhere as the ‘masterplan’). Please find attached the current Part A and Part B Masterplan documents. It is important to stress that this is a broad framework that helps capture a range of outline projects, themes and ideas that will be explored through formal business and option appraisal arrangements over the next three years. We will not necessarily be pursuing all of the projects, or in the form that they are suggested, in the plan. In as full detail as possible the planned works to the lakes and moats and the purpose of these works. The only current planned works is to undertake annual Canadian Pondweed clearance between 3rd – 21st June and 30th Sept – 18th October 2019, as agreed with the Caerphilly Angling Club and NRW at a meeting held on 20th December 2018 with Cadw. These works are necessary to control the invasive, rapid weed growth in order to maintain the biodiversity (i.e. the health of the moat and the wildlife living within in it) and the aesthetics of the moat. No further works are planned beyond this presently. 1 Any formal risk-assessment in respect of the issue of back to back fishing on the Northern Lake walkway. Cadw have not undertaken any formal risk assessment in relation to the above.
