The other day I popped up to Gwrych Castle in Abergele to see how the restoration work was going on and to take a look at some of the spooky stuff that they have for a couple of events they are doing for Halloween.
The work is coming along nicely and it's great to see floors being replaced and roofing added to keep everythingndry and safe from the elements.
While the work is going on the Castle, which many of you may recognise from I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, is having a spooktacular event during the day and the Toxic Towers on the evening.
It's lovely to see the castle being made use of during this time of year and while I was at the castle, there were plenty of family enjoying a day at the castle. I even spotted Rob Shelley from ITV Wales News walking around to do some filming.
I can image that a lot of the monsters that are at Gwrych Castle are terrifying at night, but to some small children then we're scary during the day as well.
While sheltering in the rain I had the chance to chat with one of the volunteers about the work that was being done and a general catch up, in the background I could hear all the hard work going on with the restoration work.
ive been going to Gwrych Castle since 1981 and over those years I've seen it looking amazing to the point of almost destruction, but now my spirits life each time I visit to see the improvements being made during the restoration, such as the wonderful work on the chapel and the return of the formal gardens.
No matter the weather, Gwrych Castle is a wonderful place to visit. It's always lovely to chat with volunteers and see people enjoying the amazing views.
