Plas Newydd House was the home of Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby from 1780 for the next 50 years. The house was originally an unpretentious little cottage which, over the years, they transformed into a Gothic fantasy of projecting stained glass and elaborately carved oak.

They received a stream of notable visitors included The Duke of Wellington, Wordsworth, Shelley, Sir Walter Scott and Josiah Wedgwood.

Today, an exhibition including some of their possessions and an audio tour bring their story to vivid life. You can stroll through their gardens and along their riverside walk.
