Gloddaeth Hall, located in Caernarfonshire, Wales, is a historic heritage site renowned for its architectural beauty and rich history. The hall is situated on the outskirts of Llandudno, nestled within stunning parkland and surrounded by picturesque gardens.

Originally built in the 19th century, Gloddaeth Hall was the brainchild of the influential Mostyn family, who were known for their extensive land holdings in the region. The hall was designed in the Victorian Gothic style, boasting intricate detailing and ornate features that exemplify the grandeur of the era.

The hall has played host to a range of notable figures throughout its history. It was once home to Lord Mostyn and his family, who resided there until the mid-20th century. During World War II, the hall was converted into a hospital, providing care for injured soldiers. After the war, it was transformed into a training college for teachers.

Today, Gloddaeth Hall continues to serve as an educational institution, housing a renowned theological college. The site also offers accommodation for conferences, events, and retreats. Visitors can explore the beautifully preserved interiors, which showcase the hall's original features, including grand staircases, stained glass windows, and intricate woodwork.

The surrounding gardens and parkland offer a tranquil escape, with well-maintained lawns, vibrant flowerbeds, and mature trees. The hall's location provides breathtaking views of the nearby mountains and coastline, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Overall, Gloddaeth Hall stands as a testament to Wales' architectural heritage and continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty and historical significance.

Fields, Afon Ganol The road to Bryn Pydew climbs steeply away from Cystennin Road and the low-lying fields by the Afon Ganol which can be seen winding towards the bridge for Dinarth Hall. Ironically the Afon Ganol now flows to Glan Conwy <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SH8076">SH8076</a>, the exact reverse of the flow of the Afon Conwy which came through the Mochdre gap in late-glacial times when its route to the sea was blocked by ice.
