点评:We were on our way north and stopped here for a lunch break and a walk on the castles estate.
There's a good sized parking lot, even with some spaces providing a bit of shade from the trees. Great for a hot summer day (like it was on our visit).
We traveled with our Bulldog, so we just came to enjoy the castle from the outside and to have a walk around the estates parkland. Staff we've met were all very friendly and welcoming.
It was built in 1295 as part of Edward I's chain of fortresses across the north of Wales. It was later on demolished in the English Civil War, but then rebuilt. Since 1981 it belongs to the National Trust.
And it's a beautiful castle. It's really in a fantastic condition and the land and park surrounding it are well taken care of. There are some small trails around the the meadow and castle and some longer trails to enjoy a bit more of the parkland. Some tables and benches in front of the castle to enjoy a picnic with these wonderful views all around.
For another time it's surely worth a re-visit to see the gardens and the inside. It's just really a wonderful place to see and to be. We really enjoyed it.
翻译:我们正北行,在这里停下来吃午饭,并在城堡庄园里散步。
这里有一个很大的停车场,有些地方甚至还能提供一些树荫。非常适合炎热的夏日(就像我们来的时候一样)。
我们带着斗牛犬一起旅行,所以只是来欣赏城堡的外观,并在庄园的绿地上散步。我们遇到的工作人员都非常友好热情。
它建于1295年,是爱德华一世在威尔士北部修建的一系列堡垒的一部分。后来在英国内战中被拆除,但随后重建。自1981年以来,它属于国民托管组织。
这是一座美丽的城堡。它的保存状况非常好,周围的土地和公园也得到了很好的维护。草地和城堡周围有一些小径,还有一些更长的步道可以欣赏更多的绿地。城堡前摆放着几张桌子和长椅,可以一边欣赏美景一边享受野餐。
下次来这里,一定要再去看看花园和城堡内部。这里真是个赏心悦目的好地方。我们真的很喜欢。
