A call to arms

"Herald call out the knights, rouse the dogs we have a hunting mission to go on."
"What shall I tell them that we are hunting, milord?"
"Vandals!"

When I rode out last morning on my way to Bodnant fair. I saw a graceful Castle with creepers everywhere. The view was ehr so stunning and my heart rang like a bell, but as I rode right passed it I knew it was not well.

Lay ye down your woolen shawl me friend, I swear it is no joke as I tell to you the story of that old Gwrych castle's fate.

"Vandals you say. What do you plan on doing when you catch them?"
"Hang them, draw them and quarter them. Tis what they deserve!"

Ok so I am angry. Very very angry at what has happened to such a nice castle in so few years. And I am wishing that not only did I play the lottery but that I also would win it for I would give all that money just to see that castle live again.

To the person who thought torching HISTORICAL HAND CARVED WOODEN INLAY was a fun thing to do. Think again. If I ever get my hands on you...

Here to hoping its future is better and that a kindhearted person can restore it to its former glory. Oh and that we are allowed to see it naturally ;)

The house was just left without use for a while and well time (less than you would think 20 years at most), vandals, and weather have made it a shell of its former self. The links above show the photos so you can see the horror.

last owner bought it in 1989 (!) to make it into a hotel which fell through...neglect did the rest...
