DOLBADARN Castle has been named as Wales’ best Window with a View for 2019.

The rural attraction near Llanberis, was picked by an expert panel of judges, coming out on top against a range of stunning views across the region.

The long list of candidates for the fourth annual Window with a View competition, included hotels, restaurants, bars and museums.

Dolbadarn Castle will now go into the national final where it will compete with the best views from 10 other regions across the country in a public vote to decide the UK’s best Window with a View.

James Lee, Director of Marketing at organiser MyGlazing.com, said: “Dolbadarn Castle has done brilliantly to win the regional heat and we wish it the best of luck in the public vote to decide the overall winner."

The judging panel which scored Dolbadarn Castle as the best window with a view in Wales was made up of experts from the property, photography, glass and glazing and marketing industries, who took the window, view and overall photograph into consideration for the scoring process.

This year an online vote will count for one third of the final score, with a social media vote and judges’ scores making up the other two thirds. You can show your support for your favourite online here or head to @myglazing to vote via Instagram and Twitter. Each person that votes will also be entered into a random prize draw to win a £100 Amazon voucher.
