Baron Hill Park

Baron Hill Park is an area of parkland north of the town of Beaumaris on Anglesey. It is part of the ancestral land-holding of the Bulkley family and contains the ruins of the former ancestral home, Baron Hill. Some 112 Ha of parkland is also a designated Site of special scientific interest largely because the woodland has remained largely undisturbed over very many years and is now host to a very wide range of lichen species, mostly epiphytic on trees.
