The remote and tranquil Rhiwddolion was formerly a slate quarrying community. Ty Capel was a school-cum-chapel in the days of the slate quarry. Ty Capel and two cottages nearby can be booked for short breaks with the Landmark Trust, a charity that restores historic buildings at risk and makes them available for holidays.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around this remarkable building with a fascinating history. It’s been a goal, held prisoners of war and been police station. It’s history is explained on numerous information boards you read as you go around and questions are answered by friendly and well informed staff. Ask about the paranormal activity in the place if you want to make your tour around feel a bit more spooky! Their COVID precautions are good and everyone was observing them which was great. We we there for about 90 minutes but pretty much read everything! Recommend.

These combined visits were very interesting. Excellent and informative signage and posters etc. The limits of Covid meant no audio guides which I am sure would be very good for the future. The sight of the original treadmills is unique - a very atmospheric experience

Having a mainly local day to where we were staying Wales we headed into the quaint town of Ruthin, we parked closed to the attraction (£3 all day parking, bargain). We were greeted by two lovely staff who explained about the Goal/Jail, the kids got a quiz, which meant that us adults could wander round with the very informative audio guide, lots of activities and hands on experience, we were not pressed for time and we enjoyed all the aspects of the jail (upstairs you are limited to how far you can go as the building is used as local council archives) though the glassed divider still gives you a great idea of how it would have been, the children 7 and 10 enjoyed the experience of the jail and would happily go back and visit again. A great attraction and reasonable priced entry fee.

Gwrych Castle is a 250 acre historic landscape under restoration. The castle was purchased by a charitable trust in June 2018 with a view to restoring the site back to its former glory. Come and witness the process of restoration as part of our daily opening or visit one of our events. For up to date information please visit our website.

After seeing Gwrych Castle in the distance and admiring its beauty, we decided to visit and support this fantastic preservation project. We decided to purchase a yearly family pass which is excellent value if you plan to visit more than once. With four kids it can be a challenge to find activities which offer good value for money. I’m told that there are special events throughout the year that you can attend with the pass. The owners and volunteers have done an amazing job of the renovations and the gardens were in full bloom, much to the delight of my children who like to use the ‘Picture This’ app to identify flowers. The Cala lillies especially were stunning. The gardens have been restored sympathetically and you can imagine them being the same now as they were a hundred years ago. The restored indoor rooms are closed at the moment as there is a phased reopening due to COVID but this gives us something to look forward to when we visit again. There is hand sanitizer dotted around and the one way signed walk which ensures that you are never close or bumping into other people. The views from the top wall are amazing and panoramic. The sun was shining and life really couldn’t get any better. That was until we discovered the cherry trees near the car park and at least an hour was spent picking, eating and getting covered in cherry juice! Oh what fun! We can’t wait to see what restorations happen next and commend the owners and team of committed volunteers for their hard work and commitment.
