Gwydir Castle
Gwydir Castle is a fortified Tudor manor house in the Conwy valley of north Wales, with surviving fabric dated to c.1500 and later 16th–17th century additions. It sits at the edge of the River Conwy floodplain and is set within a historic 10-acre garden. The house was the seat of the Wynn family and has been restored and reoccupied in the 20th century.

As it stood in 1600
The shape it held in its prime.
A low, two-storey Tudor courtyard house of mottled grey local stone with a taller square Solar Tower at one corner; tall rectangular chimneys rise from steep slate roofs. The principal ranges form a sheltered gravel courtyard framed by mullioned windows, an arched stone gatehouse entrance with carved date and initials, and walls partly clothed in climbing ivy. In front lies a formal garden of box hedging and gravel walks with a central stone fountain and a raised terrace with a Renaissance arch. The setting is the floodplain overlooked by wooded slopes.
