This extensive estate features formal gardens, woodlands, and lakes, all cared for by the National Trust.<br /> <a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/bodnant-garden" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/bodnant-garden</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/kitmasterbloke/">kitmasterbloke</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kitmasterbloke/54795427322/" title="Rhuddlan Castle, North Wales."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54795427322_532606619d_m.jpg" width="240" height="167" alt="Rhuddlan Castle, North Wales." /></a></p> <p>The castle was erected by Edward I in 1277, following the First Welsh War. Much of the work was overseen by master mason James of Saint George. Rhuddlan, which was not completed until 1282, was built concurrently with Flint Castle, at a time when King Edward I of England was consolidating his conquest of Wales.<br /> <br /> Rhuddlan Castle was garrisoned by Royalist troops during the English Civil War, and remained a stronghold of King Charles I until well after the Battle of Naseby, being taken by Parliamentary forces after a siege in 1646.Two years later, Parliamentarians partially demolished the castle to prevent any further military use.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/hisgett/">ahisgett</a> posted a photo:</p>

guarding the entrance to the Ceiriog Valley.<br /> It was run as a March castle by the Layards Edwardes of Chirk until removed by the Star Chamber when the castle was bought by Sir Thomas Myddelton in 1593<br /> The castle was partly demolished in the English Civil War and then rebuilt.<br /> Chirk remained in the Myddelton family until it was transferred to the National Trust in 1981.</p> <p><a
