Summary
At the edge of the Welsh Valleys stands Llancaiach Fawr Manor, a building that stood tall during the civil war, and the spirits of the past still linger. To the north, in the brooding Brecon Beacons, rises Craig-y-Nos Castle. Once the lavish home of opera star Adelina Patti, it later became a tuberculosis hospital, where countless patients drew their final breath. Today, footsteps echo in empty corridors, voices sing when no one is there, and both sites remain two of Wales’s most haunted places.
