    More History - An Elizabethan Town House

    September 11, 2024 in Wales ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    There was a really ugly weather forecast, so we decided to do something indoors. We decided to visit Plas Mawr in nearby Conwy, a town house built in the 1570s by Robert Wynn, who had a few bob and wanted to show it off to the locals. It worked because it is still amazing a lot of people.

    It looked just like you would expect and has been restored back to the Elizabethan era. We spent a good couple of hours wandering around.

    |When we left it was showery again so we did more shopping on the way home. I bought myself a sleeveless jerkin in a small shop (£20). (I knew this UK keyboard would come in handy).

    We had a late lunch and blobbed out for the rest of the day.
