The picturesque Castell Gwrych is a set in a beautiful landscape which had been home to the Lloyd family and their descendants for hundreds of years.

The castle was largely built by Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh from 1810. He was inspired by his family history and moved by his mother’s death to create a medieval-style Castle on the family’s lands.
