New Life for Aberlleiniog Castle

Never heard of Aberlleiniog Castle? You're not alone. Built in 1088 in the southeast corner of Anglesey, Wales, Aberlleiniog was privately owned and shrouded in mystery until it was purchased in 2004 by a rural development agency, which plans to restore the castle and give it, along with 26 acres of adjoining land, to the people of Anglesey. Aberlleiniog has been the site of murder, intrigue and romance, and once its dangerous walls are strengthened, visitors will be able to explore its historic halls.
