This book covers the entire history of Gwrych Castle and Estate from their founding days to present day. Gwrych, the fairytale castellated mansion that nestles into the wooded hillside which surrounds Abergele. Neglected for years, with her history sadly forgotten and her marble halls crumbling. How could this have been allowed to happen and when will future her be made secure?

Included in the second part of this book is the biography of Winifred, Countess of Dundonald ~ Last of the Heskeths of Gwrych. If Lady Dundonald was alive today what would her reaction be to the fall of the house of Gwrych? Does the life of the Countess provide the answer as to why the Castle was destined to fall into dereliction?
