Plas Newydd, Historic house museum in Llangollen, Wales.

The building features black and white timber exterior decorations, stained glass windows, and carved oak elements collected from various architectural sources.

Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby lived in this residence from 1780 to 1829, transforming a simple stone cottage into an elaborate Gothic-style house.

The residence became a gathering place for literary figures of the period, including William Wordsworth, Robert Southey, and Sir Walter Scott.

The museum opens seasonally from March to October, offering guided tours, a tea room, and access to gardens along the riverside walk.

The house contains an exhibition of personal items belonging to the Ladies of Llangollen, who defied social norms by establishing their independent life together.
