Come and see the Bodelwyddan Castle First World War training trenches!
Here at Bodelwyddan we have within our grounds a reminder of
the Great War years. Training was an important activity during
the First
World War (1914-1918). It helped to prepare newly recruited soldiers
many of whom had never considered the intricacies of 'modern' warfare. |
 |
The local training camp for the area was Kinmel Park Camp,
which is located not too far from the Castle. The camp has operated for
many years but
is remembered by many as the camp where the infamous riots took place
after the First World War. See the Castle Sales for details of a
book on the subject.
 |
The training trenches are located in the Bodelwyddan Castle Parkland.
A set of interpretive panels will be available shortly that will
provide information on what it was like to be a soldier living, fighting
and dying in the trenches and illustrations of how the trenches were
constructed. |
