Llandudno Pier, North Wales has just earned the title of National piers society’s Pier of the Year award 2025. Massive well done to everyone involved in keeping this Pier looking fantastic 👌

: The pier is the longest in Wales, 700 metres in length. The first pier on this site was a wooden one, erected in 1858 as part of the planned St George’s Harbour. The wooden pier was used mainly for export of limestone from quarries in the nearby Happy Valley. Llandudno Pier Company was formed. The first pile was driven for the new pier in July 1876. The builder was Walter MacFarlane from Glasgow. Cast iron components were produced by the Elmbank Foundry, Glasgow. The upper photo shows the pier in the 1890s.

The pier opened to the public on 1 August 1877. A landing stage catered for steamships, which brought visitors to Llandudno and took trippers for cruises along the coast to Anglesey and sometimes as far as the Isle of Man.

The pier remains a popular leisure venue for funfair rides, fishing or just strolling and enjoying the view of Llandudno’s promenade and bay. In 2005 it won the Pier of the Year award from the National Piers Society.

Kenilworth Castle & Elizabethan Gardens, Warwickshire
🏰This Castle is found in the town of Kenilworth in Warwickshire, England which was founded during the Norman conquest of England; with development through to the Tudor period. It has been described by the architectural historian Anthony Emery as "the finest surviving example of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages, significant for its scale, form and quality of workmanship".

Kenilworth played an important historical role: it was the subject of the six-month-long siege of Kenilworth in 1266, thought to be the longest siege in Medieval English history, and formed a base for Lancastrian operations in the Wars of the Roses. Kenilworth was the scene of the removal of Edward II from the English throne, the perceived French insult to Henry V in 1414 of a gift of tennis balls (said by John Strecche to have prompted the campaign that led to the Battle of Agincourt), and the Earl of Leicester's lavish reception of Elizabeth I in 1575.

Kenilworth Castle has been described as "one of two major castles in Britain which may be classified as water-castles or lake-fortresses.

🏰📸Caerphilly Castle, Caerphilly, Wales
Caerphilly Castle is a medieval fortification in Caerphilly in South Wales. The castle was constructed by Gilbert de Clare in the 13th century as part of his campaign to maintain control of Glamorgan, and saw extensive fighting between Gilbert, his descendants, and the native Welsh rulers. Surrounded by extensive artificial lakes – considered by historian Allen Brown to be "the most elaborate water defences in all Britain" – it occupies around 30 acres (12 ha) and is the largest castle in Wales and the second-largest castle in the United Kingdom after Windsor Castle. It is famous for having introduced concentric castle defences to Britain and for its large gatehouses. Gilbert began work on the castle in 1268 following his occupation of the north of Glamorgan, with the majority of the construction occurring over the next three years at a considerable cost. The project was opposed by Gilbert's Welsh rival Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, leading to the site being burnt in 1270 and taken over by royal officials in 1271. Despite these interruptions, Gilbert successfully completed the castle and took control of the region. The core of Caerphilly Castle, including the castle's luxurious accommodation, was built on what became a central island, surrounding by several artificial lakes, a design Gilbert probably derived from that at Kenilworth. The dams for these lakes were further fortified, and an island to the west provided additional protection. The concentric rings of walls inspired Edward I's castles in North Wales, and proved what historian Norman Pounds has termed "a turning point in the history of the castle in Britain".

Bolsover Castle, Bolsover, Chesterfield
🏰 Built in the early 17th century, the present castle lies on the earthworks and ruins of the 12th-century medieval castle. The castle was founded in the late 11th century by William Peveril, one of William the Conqueror's knights, but it was neglected from the mid-14th century. Its ruins provided the setting for the Little Castle begun in 1612 by Sir Charles Cavendish as a retreat from his principal seat at Welbeck, a few miles away. The first structure of the present castle was built between 1612 and 1617 by Sir Charles Cavendish. After 1883, the castle was uninhabited, and in 1945 it was given to the nation by the 7th Duke of Portland. The Ministry of Works stabilized the buildings and began opening portions to visitations by the public. Enjoy the labyrinth of rooms, carved marble fireplaces, beautifully painted ceilings, and richly coloured wall paintings. There are no ropes or barriers inside the Little Castle – all the reproduction furniture here can be touched, sat on and enjoyed. Open up 17th-century style 'cabinets of curiosity' to discover Bolsover's secrets, and learn how the castle was used for banqueting, relaxing and partying, by Sir William Cavendish.

Llandudno, North Wales Lovers ❤️

🏖️ Llandudno is a Victorian-era seaside resort situated on the picturesque north coast of Wales. Once a favourite of Queen Victoria, Llandudno still retains an old-world charm that sets it aside from other British seaside resorts. Llandudno is set between the cities of Bangor and Chester and is easily accessible by road and rail. Llandudno has the distinction of being the largest seaside resort in North Wales. It lies between two notable carboniferous headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme with the Irish Sea on one side and the estuary of the River Conwy on the other with sunset views of Puffin Island. It is these headlands and the two waterfronts, the North Shore and the West Shore, that give Llandudno its special appeal.

Although settlements have existed on the Great Orme since the Stone Age and an Iron Age hill fort survives at Pen-y-Dinas, Llandudno was developed as a seaside resort in the Victorian era. As such, it has Victorian charm - large Victorian houses, fine hotels lining the bay, a pier, boat trips round the headland, Punch and Judy on the wide promenade, an excellent lifeboat service, and a fine theatre with ballet, opera, orchestral concerts, ice shows and pantomime in season.

Shrewsbury Castle, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
🏰 Shrewsbury Castle stands at the top of a hill and was built as a defensive fortification for Shrewsbury, which the River Severn otherwise protected.

A castle has been on the site since 1066, under the orders of William I, but was later greatly extended by Roger Montgomery c. 1074, during the reign of William the Conqueror, as a base for operations into Wales, an administrative centre and as a defensive fortification for the town.

Later, in the late 18th century, Thomas Telford remodelled the interior as a private house. The Castle was acquired by the Corporation of Shrewsbury in 1924 through the generosity of the Shropshire Horticultural Society.
