'The most remarkable architectural detective story of our time' Tom Lloyd author of Lost Houses of Wales and Chairman of the Welsh Historic Buildings Council

'The house was almost completely hidden under swathes of wisteria and ivy, The pale afternoon light picked out the sandstone mullions around each window and made the little leaded panes glint randomly like the blocking of a crossword puzzle. We stood, soaking up the silence, whilst a peacock eyed us inquisitively from the wall' Judy Corbett

These were the first impressions Judy Corbett had of her beloved 16th Century Gwydir Castle on her tireless search for a dream restoration project.
Castles in the Air is a beautifully written, autobiographical story of the rescuing of an ancient mansion.

For everyone who has ever wanted to restore a wrecked mansion and garden to its former glory or escape from the mundanity of life - Castles in the Air is pure magic.
