Structures are visible hidden in the undergrowth in the former gardens and the mansion itself can be occasionally glimpsed through the trees. Woodland now surrounds the mansion and a real sense of discovery is felt when the main building is finally within vision and its size and grandeur can be appreciated.  Security Measures wooden boarding  Historical Dates Built: 1618 Closed: 1950  Required Equipment flashlight gloves long pants / sleeves  Recommended Equipment  History Baron Hill is an extremely large mansion & estate, situated on the outskirts of ********* on the Island of Anglesey in North Wales. Originally built in 1618 for the Bulkeley family, it was remodelled into the Neo-Palladian style in 1776 by the architect Samuel Wyatt. It remained the Bulkeley family home until sometime in the 1920s, when they moved to more modest accomodation and the mansion was then used for storage. When World War II broke out, the Government requisitioned it and it was used as a billet for Polish soldiers. The Polish soldiers were unhappy with the large, cold rooms and decided to start a small fire, so that they would be rehoused in more comfortable accommodation. The resulting blaze destroyed a large part of the main building's interior. The soldiers were rehoused - but into portable huts in the mansion's grounds. The mansion has been abandoned ever since the war ended and has gradually decayed further.  Media Coverage Considering its size and former importance as home to one of North Wales' most important families, there is very little information available about Baron Hill's history.  Future Plans Developer has bought the location and is hoping to restore the building into apartments.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Sleepwalker Visit - January 2005 Tue, Feb 1st, 2005 posted by Anonymous 31 pictures Baron Hill Basement Mon, Jul 17th, 2006 posted by Anonymous 13 pictures Historical Photos Mon, Nov 13th, 2006 posted by Anonymous 14 pictures SnakeCorp Visit 07-08-2010 Sat, Aug 7th, 2010 posted by SnakeCorp 11 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links Bulkeley family information: http://library.ban...sey+wales&1%2C1%2C  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
