Penrhyn Castle Vlog - Exploring North Wales

Описание: In this Exploring North Wales vlog, we take a look round Penrhyn Castle.

If you're looking for things to see and do in North Wales, then this Penrhyn Castle vlog is for you.

Penrhyn Castle in the county of Gwynydd, North Wales, is a country house and was the home of the Pennant Family.

Wikipedia says about it, Penrhyn Castle (Welsh: Castell Penrhyn) is a country house in Llandygai, Bangor, Gwynedd, North Wales, constructed in the style of a Norman castle. The Penrhyn estate was founded by Ednyfed Fychan. In the 15th century his descendent Gwilym ap Griffith built a fortified manor house on the site. In the 18th century, the Penrhyn estate came into the possession of Richard Pennant, 1st Baron Penrhyn, in part from his father, a Liverpool merchant, and in part from his wife, Ann Susannah Pennant née Warburton, the daughter of an army officer. Pennant derived great wealth from his ownership of slave plantations in the West Indies and was a strong opponent of attempts to abolish the slave trade. His wealth was used in part for the development of the slate mining industry on Pennant's Caernarfonshire estates, and also for development of Penrhyn Castle. In the 1780s Pennant commissioned Samuel Wyatt to undertake a reconstruction of the medieval house.

North Wales is a a beautiful part of the UK and we're proud to call it our home.

There are always lots of things to see and do in North Wales, lots of exploring in North Wales to be done, and more castles than you can shake a stick at.

To be honest, Penrhyn Castle isn't really a castle, it's more of a stately home, but it's still incredibly impressive and well worth a look around the castle, as well as the very impressive castle gardens.

Although we have been driving past Penrhyn Castle almost all of our lives, while on the way to Anglesey or Snowdonia, we had never visited Penrhyn Castle until now, and we're glad we did.

We caught it on the last day of Penrhyn Castle's Christmas exhibition, the day before it closes for a Spring clean before opening again in the new year.

If you're looking for things to see or do, or looking for the best things to do in North Wales, then Penrhyn Castle is a must see.

After we had visited Penrhyn Castle, we went down to explore Port Penrhyn, which was the port that transported over 50% of Wales' slate back in the 1800s and 1900s.

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint YouTube channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x
