This very pleasant caravan site is approximately one kilometre south of Ty’n-y-groes on the B5106. The site is signposted by the Image in this photograph, which is by the entrance.

This photograph of a door in the wall surrounding the Caerhun Farm Caravan Club Certified Site reminded me of the door to the secret garden in the similarly named children’s classic story by Frances Hodgson Burnett http://www.penguin.co.uk/nf/Author/AuthorPage/0,,1000005453,00.html . In fact, from the other side of the wall, the door is completely hidden by the shrubbery and the building whose roof can be seen is on the other side of the B5106. Not much of a garden there, then!

Functional parts of the hall complex were built in a dark igneous rock, matching the farm across the road (Image). It is a very unusual stone that does not look local, but neither do I know its source.

Hidden from the road by a high wall and other buildings, this is one of the Conwy Valley's best kept secrets. Caer Rhun hall is a grade II listed building, and now operates as a college, conference centre and wedding venue. It was built by General Hugh Gough in 1892 on the site of Plas Caer Rhun, a seventeenth-century house which may have had medieval origins. There are extensive grounds and many fine, specimen trees. It is not open to the public and I am grateful for permission to visit and photograph the area.

This very pleasant caravan site is situated approximately one kilometre south of Ty’n-y-groes on the B5106. There are pitches for just five caravans and the whole is situated within an old walled garden. When this photograph was taken the Image beyond the wall provided roosts for starlings at night. The door in the wall on the right looks very much like the Image!
