Gloddaeth Hall, Grade I listed country house in Llandudno, Wales.
Gloddaeth Hall is a stone country house in Llandudno, Wales, built with substantial masonry, large windows, and a traditional hammer beam roof typical of Welsh architectural design. The building now serves as part of St David's College, an independent school for students between 9 and 19 years old.
The core structure dates to the 16th century after the Mostyn family acquired it in the 15th century and maintained ownership across generations. The building has survived through major historical changes while retaining its original form and character.
The rooms inside display wood paneling from the 16th and 17th centuries, showing different periods of British craftsmanship and design preferences. These preserved details tell the story of how people lived and what they valued across different generations in this house.
Since the building is now part of a working school, visits may be limited to specific times or special open days arranged in advance. It is best to check ahead to confirm whether public access is available before making a journey to see it.
The estate includes a 17th-century dovecote and gardens registered as parks of historic interest, revealing details about how wealthy families once lived. These structures and grounds show the broader landscape that supported the main house.
