| Aelwyd a gymhell - a welcoming hearth beckons. This is the translation of the Welsh message carved in the oak beam above the fireplace that greets you in the reception hall of Plas Penucha, Caerwys.
This unique farmhouse has been in the family of the owner since it was built over four hundred years ago during the reign of Elizabeth I. Over the centuries, it has been substantially altered and improved, but the improvements have never detracted from the beauty of the house, and whilst there is every modern convenience for the visitor, as soon as you pass over the threshold you are wafted back many centuries.
The house is situated in 2.5 acres of garden, which have a natural beauty throughout the seasons of the year. Beyond the gardens is surrounding farmland which, in turn, looks out towards the Clwydian Hills. The grounds contain a large rock garden and many species of rhododendron.
Plas Penucha is situated two miles from Caerwys, the smallest town in the country and the birthplace of the National Eisteddfod of Wales, and six miles from Saint Asaph, with the smallest medieval Cathedral in the country. It is an extremely convenient position for touring North Wales - to the east are the cities of Chester and Liverpool together with the Wirral Peninsula while, in the opposite dirction, the whole of the North Wales coast, the Snowdonia National Park, Anglesey, Llangollen and the Vale of Clwyd are all within easy reach.
