Mrs Fester and I, went to Penrhyn Castle today, and as Dave says, you can take photos, but not with Flash.
The castle, grounds and gardens are incredibly impressive, as are the sumptuous decorations and room displays.
The mistake we made was to go up the 173 stairs to the roof of the Keep. Not because of the effect on my ageing knees, but because of a serious infestation of flies which made it unbearable.
The warm weather has made untold millions of flies hatch out, and are swarming everywhere. It was like something from a horror movie trying to get out of there.
We then sat in the walled garden and saw those incredibly large 'rhubarb' type plants. (took a few pics, as you do)
From there, a drink outside The Gladstone in Penmaenmawr, and off to The Cottage Loaf, Llandudno, for an excellent meal.
A great day out, and a fantastic 'Castle' which I would strongly recommend that everyone should visit.
I might buy it!!
