Aberglaslyn Hall, Victorian mansion in Beddgelert, North Wales.
The grand Aberglaslyn Hall stands on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, featuring dormitory accommodations spread across multiple floors for groups and students.
Constructed in 1880 by John Ernest Greaves, the mansion sits on former copper mining grounds and changed ownership multiple times before Leicestershire County Council acquired it in 1962.
The mansion maintains its role as an educational center where students participate in outdoor activities while learning about environmental conservation and natural sciences.
The mansion accommodates 48 visitors in dormitory-style rooms and provides facilities for various outdoor activities including rock climbing, canoeing, and mountain biking.
During World War I, the estate supplied bamboo to London Zoo under the ownership of Horace Raven, marking an unexpected connection between the Welsh mansion and the capital.
