Location filming at Nantclwyd y Dre
Nantclwyd y Dre offers an intimate and authentic historic house and garden setting that is idea for heritage content, photography, interviews and smaller productions looking for a fresh and unique setting that is both varied and full of character.
Located in the heart of historic Ruthin, Nantclwyd y Dre is one of the oldest timber-framed townhouses in Wales, dating back to 1435. Now a hands-on history museum, it features faithfully recreated rooms from various periods, including medieval, Jacobean, Stuart, Tudor, Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and modern.
