Penrhyn Castle (National Trust), Bangor

Wonderful experience today, my first day of voluntary work at Penrhyn Castle. So glad I went - the house is stupendous, and I met a lovely team of workers there who were warm and welcoming and full of fascinating information about the history of the place. Lots of fun events and creative activities happening there soon, I gather - and I would so like to be a part of it all!

Large, impressive but relatively new castle. Interesting interiors, ceilings, clocks, art, china etc.. Children's play area. Nice shops & cafe. Excellent free parking. Particularly fine collection of old steam engines.

Ample free parking and toilets close to the entrance. Bit of an uphill walk to the house but lovely views as you walk along the path. Very large house with interesting features. We were lucky to get on the tour of the attic which was interesting. The train museum is also very good and well worth a visit. We didn't visit the cafe so I can't comment on the facilities offered.

Great place to visit. Friendly staff. Picnic tables outside visitor centre accompanied by a Robin! Good mini bus (for a donation) worth getting up to the castle and grounds. Very enthusiastic staff/volunteers inside. Worth a visit

An excellent historical location with plenty to do. The house itself is interesting and the gardens are very nice too. Things there to keep the kids occupied. A good family place to visit
