Pen y Bryn, Manor house and peel tower in Abergwyngregyn, Wales

The two-story manor house features a four-story stone tower, roughly dressed quoins, and slate roofing overlooking the Menai Strait toward Anglesey.

Construction activities between 1303 and 1306 involved large-scale works with imported broken stone and lime mortar at the Aber location.

The structure stands within Garth Celyn, meaning Holly Enclosure in Welsh, which includes a double bank, ditch, and additional historical buildings.

Located five miles east of Bangor and eight miles west of Conwy, the Grade II listed building maintains both residential and defensive features.

Dendrochronology testing revealed that the current roof timbers were installed around 1624, marking a significant refurbishment of the structure.
