Penrhyn Castle was built by Thomas Hopper between 1820 and 1845 for the Pennant family who had made their fortune through their Jamaican sugar estates and local slate quarry.

The castle is neo-Norman and contains fascinating 'Norman' style furniture, whilst housing a collection of paintings from old masters.
The castle is surrounded by beautiful grounds with attractive walks, a Victorian walled garden, Industrial Railway Museum, Dolls Museum, Countryside Exhibition, National Trust Shop and an Adventure Playground.
