Around Dunraven Castle in Wales

 

This famous landmark overlooked Southerndown beach on the Glamorgan coast until the 1960s

Originally the site of an Iron Age hillfort, Dunraven became the location for a series of houses.

Tragic stories abound about the Vaughan family who once lived there, and the ghost of the Blue Lady.

The fortified mansion built by the Wyndham family in 1803 became known as Dunraven Castle due to its grand castellations.

The building was used as a convalescent hospital during World Wars I and II, and later as a Workers Tourist Authority guest house before being demolished in 1963.

Although long gone, Dunraven Castle is remembered by many as a local landmark, and its walled garden still exists.

The spectacular cliffs and beach at Southerndown and Dunraven Bay have been used as locations for Doctor Who and other TV programmes.

NATIONAL PARK

With mountains and moorland, standing stones and castles, lively waterfalls. National Park is around 42 miles wide. In total, it covers approximately 520 square miles of South and Mid Wales, just west of Herefordshire, and includes parts of Powys, Carmarthenshire, Monmouthshire, Rhondda and Merthyr Tydfil. It gets its name from the Central Beacons, which dominate the skyline south of Brecon. They rise to 886 metres at Pen y Fan, the highest peak in southern Britain. Blaenavon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They’re so unique that a large part of our National Park has been designated a European and Global Geopark.
