Fonmon Castle
Review
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien.
You’ll be totally spoilt for choice what to do first when you arrive at the utterly funtastic Fonmon Castle - Home of Jurassic Wales. Hidden within the breathtakingly beautiful Vale of Glamorgan, the 340-acre rural estate, Fonmon Castle was built in 1180, and this awesome attraction is brimming over with mystery, magic and mythological mayhem, plus 800-years of history, escapades and the most beautiful Georgian interiors within the castle itself. A haven for visitors, the grade II listed gardens transport you to another time, and there really is something for every taste and every age here at Fonmon Castle - where medieval meets the prehistoric. Treat the kids to a day they will never forget, with adventures galore such as the Dino Dome Show, The Raptor Pit, Pirate Adventure, Bug Hunts, Play Areas, Story Trail and much, much more. Featuring a whole host of different characters, (including an actual Wizard!) who weave magical storylines and thought-provoking quests, that will get the grey cells popping, and the children’s feet hopping for joy, in this wonderful world of dragons, fairies and big toothy dinos.
