Hello Tom. I saw ‘your’ Central Park castle when I was in NYC a decade ago. Your park is somewhat bigger than the one in North Wales!

AT LAST!
‘WE’ (NOT THE ‘ROYAL’ WE – JUST ** WE ** NEW YORKERS) HAVE OUR OWN
‘TOWER’ CASTLE. IT’S LOCATED IN (OUR) CENTRAL PARK, AND IT’S CALLED:
BELVEDBRE CASTLE. IT SITS ON A HIGH POINT IN THE PARK AND OVERLOOKS
… ‘THE GREAT LAWN’. IT IS NOW USED AS A WEATHER FORECAST OPERATION,
AND IS SOMEWHAT – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS. IN ADDITION, IT HAS SEVERAL LARGE PATIOS, AND IS THE PERFECT ‘SPOT’ TO VIEW VAST ‘VISTAS’ (3 V’s)- OF THE PARK.
OURS DATES BACK TO ONLY 1919.
FOR ANYONE VISITING THE BIG APPLE (NYC) IT’S WORTH THE HIKE.
TOM

Hello Robert. It is quite tucked away in trees now, so easy to miss. It must have been a dramatic sight before the trees matured. Please you enjoyed the post.

My Mother was from Anglesey and to think on countless holidays and periods of growing up there I must have passed this hundreds of times.

Good morning Caroline. It’s worth a little holiday detour to see it. Enjoy your trip.

My parents lived just down the road from here and even worse I surveyed Clwyd for the Register and never saw this tower or knew anything about it.! Fascinating ! We’re off to North Wales for a holiday in September. Might look this up !
