St Bride's Castle Seen from the Coast Path. Originally the baronial mansion of the Allen-Phillips family. In 1920 death duties forced the then owner, Lord Kensington, to sell off the estate and it came into the possession of the King Edward VII Welsh National Memorial Association. It became Kensington Hospital and then a convalescent home until its closure in 1978. Now it is part of Holiday Property Bond's portfolio with 50 apartments and cottages.
