Arriving at Plasnewydd |
|
This is the house where the Ladies of Llangollen lived |
Plas
Newydd was home to the Ladies of Llangollen, Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss
Sarah Ponsonby, from 1780 - 1829. They became celebrated throughout the
country as the story of their friendship spread through Regency Society.
The house retains the Gothic features they introduced.
Plas Newydd is set in
peaceful gardens surrounded by trees and include the font from the nearby
Valle Crucis Abbey.
The house is now a
museum run by Denbighshire County Council. The circle of stones in the
grounds of Plas Newydd were used for the 1908 Llangollen National
Eisteddfod.
Open Easter to October
