fighting the Saxon invader to bring peace to Britain.

be developed as a major all-weather attraction. Friendly and
knowledgeable guides are always on hand to answer your questions
and identify your geological finds

exuberant excess of a Busby Berkeley musical.
Welsh Royal Crystal
Centuries old handcrafting skills are used in the Welsh Royal
Crystal glass making workshops. All crystal pieces are
individually mouth blown and hand cut, thus capturing the
clarity, brilliance and sharpness of cut associated with
quality crystal ware.

Intaglio and Celtic design influences, which are unique to
Welsh Royal Crystal products.
The Judges Lodging
 Once called ‘the most commodious and elegant apartments for a
judge in all England and Wales’ (Lord Chief Justice Campbell,
1855). Now, aided by an interior hardly touched by time
and original furnishings discarded in attics, extensive
research and restoration has re-awakened this ‘Victorian
fossil’.
Machinations

only permanent exhibition of contemporary Automata (mechanical
moving models) in the UK. The hands-on interactive moving
model characters spin, whirl or bob up and down with
fascinating mechanisms displaying cogs, cams and levers - an

climbing equipment, slide, soft play for little'uns with

outstandingly picturesque group with its timber-framed
gatehouse and the parish church. The castle has two towers
joined by a buttressed Great Banquetting Hall, with long,
gothic, gabled windows. Massive roof timbers, made from whole
