I Bought a Castle
Most castles in Wales are empty shells, but Penhow is different. History comes alive here for thousands of people every year, thanks to the flair and ingenuity of film producer Stephen Weeks. He bought it for a song in 1973, when much of it was derelict, and has since restored this ancient home of the Seymours. Phil Rickman joins him on an unusual guided tour of Wales's oldest lived-in castle.
