Historic Manor That Hosted King Turned Into Cannabis Farm
9th April 2026
A historic home that the King once stayed in has been turned into a cannabis farm.
Police found a large number of “fairly mature plants” within the stone walls of Plas Glynllifon, a 19th-century palace in north Wales that formerly belonged to Lord Newborough.
The Grade I listed property near Caernarfon, Gwynedd, was sealed off by officers after they executed a warrant on Tuesday.
Inside, a “significant grow” was found in 12 rooms on the top floor.
Electricity and water had been diverted into the house, which is privately owned but not inhabited, for the drugs farm, detectives said.
Well, you know, taxes in Britain being what they are….
