The Dragons Den!!

[Silent Hill]

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.

Stunning shots of a stunning place!

Apparently these days if you are seen round these parts around the 'witching' hour, there are strange folk hanging round in robes chanting weird rituals!

Looks a lovely big place! Nicely composed photos, but processing is a bit OTT for me!
They just don't make them like that anymore!

This is the same place that a bloke from the north west was going to turn into a "psychic resort" for ghost hunters after he photo-shopped/graphed a mysterious woman at the window. What a plank!
