4K. Betws-y-Coed. The Great Orme. Llangollen. Conwy & Caernarvon Castles.
4K. Betws-y-Coed is a village and community in the Conwy valley in Conwy County Borough, Wales. Prior to 1974 it was located in the historic county of Caernarfonshire, right on the boundary with Denbighshire.
Llangollen is a small town and community in Denbighshire, north-east Wales, on the River Dee at the edge of the Berwyn mountains and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB. It had a population of 3,658 at the 2011 census
The Great Orme is a limestone headland on the north coast of Wales, above the town of Llandudno. Referred to as Cyngreawdr Fynydd by the 12th-century poet Gwalchmai ap Meilyr, its English name derives from the Old Norse word for sea serpent.
Part of the World Heritage Site, Conwy was built for King Edward I at the end of the 13th century, and it’s liable to take your breath away more than 700 years later. The tours are particularly worth taking in – full of nooks and crannies, Medieval history weaves through this place.

Butler House and Lady Eleanor History
This week's Throwback Thursday video is all about Butler House and Lady Eleanor herself and we show you the brand new Lady Eleanor Suite.
Stone font, bridge and stream at Plas Newydd, Llangollen
The Ladies of Llangollen were two upper-class Anglo-Irish women whose relationship scandalised and fascinated their contemporaries. The Ladies are interesting today as an example of historical romantic friendship.
Eleanor Charlotte Butler (11 May 1739 - 2 June 1829) was considered an over-educated bookworm by her family, who occupied Kilkenny Castle. She spoke French and was educated in a convent in France. Her mother tried to make her join a convent because she was becoming a spinster.
Sarah Ponsonby (1755 -- 9 December 1832) lived with relatives in Woodstock, Ireland. She was a second cousin of Frederick Ponsonby, 3rd Earl of Bessborough, and thus a second-cousin-once-removed of his daughter the Lady Caroline Lamb. Her host, Sir William Fownes, tried to force himself on her on various occasions.
Their families lived only two miles (3 km) from each other. They met in 1768, and quickly became friends. Over the years they formulated a plan of a private rural retreat. Rather than face the possibility of being forced into unwanted marriages, they ran away together in April 1778. Their families hunted them down and forcefully tried to make them give up their plans -- in vain.
They decided to move to England but ended up in Wales, and set up home at Plas Newydd, near the town of Llangollen in 1780. They proceeded to live according to their self-devised system though they could rely on only an annual £280 from intolerant relatives (equivalent to £28,739.20 in today's terms 2007).[1] Still, they overhauled Plas Newydd to the Gothic style with draperies, arches and glass windows.[2] They hired a gardener, a footman and two maids. This led to significant debt, and they had to rely on the generosity of a very few friends.
They devoted their time to seclusion, private studies of literature and languages and improving their estate. They did not actively socialise and were uninterested in fashion. Over the years they added a circular stone dairy and created a sumptuous garden. Eleanor kept a diary of their activities. Town-dwellers of Llangollen simply referred to them as The Ladies.
After a couple of years, their life attracted the interest of the outside world. Their house became a haven for all manner of visitors, mostly writers such as Robert Southey, Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron and Scott, but also the military leader Duke of Wellington and industrialist Josiah Wedgwood; aristocratic novelist Caroline Lamb, who was born a Ponsonby, came to visit too. Even travellers from continental Europe had heard of the couple and came to visit them, for instance Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, the German nobleman and landscape designer who wrote admiringly about them.
The Ladies were known throughout Britain, but in fact led a rather unexciting life. Queen Charlotte wanted to see their cottage and persuaded the King to grant them a pension. Eventually their families came to tolerate them.
Butler and Ponsonby lived together for the rest of their lives, over 50 years. Their books and glassware had both sets of initials and their letters were jointly signed.
Eleanor Butler died in 1829. Sarah Ponsonby died two years later. Their house is now a museum run by Denbighshire County Council. Both of the ladies are buried at St Collen's Church in Llangollen.
Butler's Hill, near Plas Newydd, is named in honour of Eleanor Butler. The Ponsonby Arms public house in Llangollen takes its name from Sarah Ponsonby.
