Holyhead, Wales

Gwydir Castle

The Finest Tudor House in Wales Visit the enchanting Grade 1–listed ancestral home of the Wynn family and enjoy a Privileged Access tour. Embark on a scenic drive by motor coach across the Isle of Anglesey, over the Menai Strait, to the Snowdonia National Park. Set in ten acres of gardens, Gwydir Castle proudly stands after being restored to its original grandeur. Meet the owners and enjoy an exclusive tour of this original Tudor home. Stroll the rooms, admire period furniture and discover the story behind the refurbishment and Gwydir’s “lost” dining room, which spent decades housed in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art before negotiations allowed the return of the contents to Gwydir. The restored dining room was opened by HRH the Prince of Wales in 1998, now Britain’s King Charles III. After your tour, enjoy traditional Welsh sweet treats served with tea or coffee before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
