Colourful Characters Walk & Lunch

A Storytelling Stroll and Lunch – Saturday 26th October 2019

From an Iron Master to a Baronet, from a Reverend who squandered his fortune to the gentry with a social conscience, the Gliffaes Hotel has had some fascinating owners.
Come and hear their tales, as story teller Jan Little takes us on a stroll through the beautiful grounds and through the magnificent trees and makes these characters come to life.
MEET:

• William Henry West, Iron Master associated with Beaufort iron works.
• His son, the Rev West who didn’t act like a reverend at all, but is responsible for the Italianate style building.
• Lady Charlotte Salt, wife of Sir Shirley Harris Salt who suffered a family tragedy here.

 
SEE:

• The grounds of the Gliffaes with its stunning tree collection in all its autumn glory.
• The river Usk as we stroll by.

Maybe even the trees have something to say.
