On the fourth day of our Llantwit holiday; Ibolya wasn't feeling well so Ruby, Lucas and I had a look round St Donat's castle, just round the corner from Andy's. I went back in the afternoon for a rare guided tour of the castle which is now run by the Atlantic College organisation, a private international 6th form college. Between 1925 and 1962 the castle was owned by William Randolph Hearst who held lavish parties there with guest including Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, John F. Kennedy and George Bernard Shaw, who describes St Donat's as "what God would have built if he had had the money."
