Penmon Priory - 2
A 12th Century Abbey becoming an Augustinian Priory in the 13th.
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538 the buildings passed into the hands of the
Bulkeleys of Baron Hill ,Beaumaris, who enclosed much of the land as a deer park and built a fine dovecote.
A FP over a wall of the Old Deer Park plus a bit of scrambling leads to this view of the Priory , and
Conway Bay and the Northern Carneddau Mountains
A telegraph pole and some wires have been cloned out of the photo.
