Penrhyn Castle, North Wales : Penrhyn Castle is situated at the northern end of the Menai Strait in North Wales overlooking Anglesea. It has all the appearance of considerable age, but was only built between 1820 and 1837 as a private dwelling house, surely one of the largest anywhere. Most of the original 15th century castle on the site has been incorporated into this 19th century fantasy. There are photos from two visits, September 2006 and June 2008.

Chirk Castle, North Wales : Built during the late 13th century by Roger Mortimer, a supporter of Edward 1, who was granted the area after the defeat of the Welsh in 1282. The castle may have been built later than this however, in an effort to quell an uprising by the Welsh in 1294.
