Gwrych Castle is an imposing gothic ruin on the picturesque North Wales coastline, with spectacular sea views and impressive architecture around every corner. Gwrych Castle gained fame as the filming location for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! for two consecutive years.

Gwrych Castle is a Grade I listed country house in North Wales, one of the first attempts at replicating true medieval architecture in Europe. It stands in 250 acres of gardens and grounds and has extensive views over former parkland including a deer park and the Irish Sea.

Gwrych Castle was built between 1812 and 1822 by Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh as a memorial to his mother’s ancestors, the Lloyds of Gwrych. Upon the site was an Elizabethan house named ‘Y Fron (rounded hill) which by 1810 had fallen into dereliction. When Lloyd married Lady Emily Esther Ann Lygon, daughter of the 1st Earl of Beauchamp in 1825, the main building was complete.

Built at the beginning of the 19th century, Gwrych Castle was home to the Dundonald family until being bequeathed to King George V, who refused to accept the gift.

The castle has had a varied history. During World War II, the castle housed 200 Jewish refugees and it even served as a training ground for Randolph Turpin, English World Middleweight boxing champion, during the 1950s.

Unfortunately, the castle began to fall into disrepair after being closed to the public in 1985. Since then, it's passed through the hands of various owners and narrowly missed out on being converted into a luxury hotel. A few years ago, it was bought by the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust who plan to renovate it back to its former glory.
