Gwrych Castle

“An enchanting castle, with beautiful views, sensational architecture, and some wonderful history to be part of. We visited on a bank holiday weekend, pouring with rain, but it did not take anything away from our experience. The staff our very friendly and welcoming, and the map, guide, and signage makes exploring the vast grounds really easy. Our visit was roughly about 2 hours, which allowed us to see everything, walk the grounds, and stop and have a cuppa. The gift shop and cafe is very cool, and in better weather, the outdoor seating is very quirky and medieval. The castle is currently undergoing a big renovation in the East Wing, which hasn’t be accessible for 40 years - can’t wait to return and see it.”

“A ‘hidden’ gem. Actually not hidden, I’ve driven past it many times but assumed it was private. I hadn’t realised it was open to the public. Go and visit! The views are stunning! Much of the castle is an open ruin, but the footpath traverses it all, and there are lots of nooks and crannies to explore, and a woodland walk too. If you’re into I’m A Celeb, there are things to see from the 2021 season too. You can get a decent walk here but it is not hugely accessible for the mobility impaired. After a walk there’s a cafe to take a rest. This was one of the highlights of our holiday.”

“Great castle and interesting history. Also known for I'm a celebrity get me out if here. Castle under renovation, but that didn't spoil the walk around. Amazing views. Plenty of parking. Wasn't crowded. Friendly staff. Toilets are port a cabins. And not many around. Cafe available. Not wheelchair friendly, good walking shoes recommended. No queue. Pay for tickets and parking. Took about 60 mins to walk around but we were taking our time. Highly recommend a visit.”
