Dreaming Ivy's Link to Wales

Dreaming Ivy was inspired by a visit to Baron Hill in Anglesey, an epic mansion half a mile west of Beaumaris. The building, overrun with ivy, moss and weeds, sweeps you into a world full of high society from the past.

Baron Hill was built in the early 17th century during the reign of James 1st and ultimately enlarged into a very grand house. During World War I, death duties soaked up the family fortune and made it impossible for the Williams-Bulkeley family to stay. The house was then used for storage until World War 2, when it was converted into a billet for Polish soldiers. During this time the building was fire damaged and has remained unused since but now stands immersed in dreaming ivy.
