Who we are
'Croeso, i Gastell Bodelwyddan’ – Welcome, to Bodelwyddan Castle.
Denbighshire’s glorious and romantic folly. Despite the implications of the name, follies are today recognised as a light-hearted punctuation to the British landscape which, in the fashion of the era, often echoed earlier styles. In the case of Bodelwyddan, this is a heady and immensely appealing mixture of Gothic, Jacobean and Greek revival. Architectural medley it may be; yet there’s little especially casual about Bodelwyddan history.
