Craig-y-Nos Castle ''(English: Rock of the Night),'' is a Victorian-Gothic country house in Wales. Built on parkland beside the River Tawe in the upper Swansea Valley, it is located on the southern edge of Fforest Fawr in Powys. The former estate of opera singer Adelina Patti, part of the complex is now used as a boutique hotel, catering, conferencing and entertainment venue. The castle grounds are surrounded by a designated country park, which is now part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. ==Penwyllt== The industrial development of the village of Penwyllt, came as a result of the need for quicklime in the industrial processes in the lower Swansea Valley. Quarrying clay from the surrounding hills, in total there were fifteen lime kilns turning it into quicklime within the parish of Penwyllt: *Craig-y-nos: two lime kilns created in the railway age, dated 1878.〔http://www.brocross.com/industrial%20history/welsh%20limekilns/powys/craig-y-nos.htm〕 *Pen-y-foel: a bank of four kilns erected in around 1863 to 1867 by, it is thought, the Brecon Coal & Lime Co. There is a loading bank for railway wagons in front of the kilns.〔http://www.brocross.com/industrial%20history/welsh%20limekilns/powys/pen-y-foel%20kilns.htm〕 *Twyn-disgwylfa: Built by Joseph Claypon between 1836 and 1842, this bank of seven kilns has been largely destroyed by quarry tipping. Only one draw arch can now be seen.〔http://www.brocross.com/industrial%20history/welsh%20limekilns/powys/twyn-disgwylfa.htm〕 *Twyn-y-ffald: The 1825 and 1827 kilns built by Joseph Claypon have been largely demolished, although the single draw arch can still be seen.〔http://www.brocross.com/industrial%20history/welsh%20limekilns/powys/twyn-y-ffald.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Craig-y-Nos Castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
