Clean Slate

The rugged, bosky fastness of Glyn Cywarch, the 17th-century seat of the Harlech family in north Wales, gives the house an atmosphere of untamed enchantment. Tallulah Harlech, with her mother, Amanda, has recently restored the ancestral pile, creating an interior that is as clean and minimal as the exterior is mystical and wild.

[Tallulah] I am Tallulah Harlech,

and this is Glyn Cywarch,

the ancient home of my father's side of the family.

[gentle rhythmic music]

I feel there's magic here in the house, in the grounds,

in the garden and the lakes.

[gentle rhythmic music]

When I was a child, Glyn is where I felt free.

It was a place of imagination and adventure.

And coming here now, I still feel that enchantment.

[gentle rhythmic music]

Maybe even sorcery.

It's something I can't really describe.

Even the rain has a particular kind of softness and beauty.

It's the landscape that has most shaped my life.

We take enormous care of the land here.

All of our families share a strong connection

with this part of the world.

It runs incredibly deep within us all.

Time spent at Glyn has helped me understand

what it is to feel a profound respect for a place,

the history, and its legacy.

[gentle rhythmic music]

[wind blowing]

Glyn has been entrusted to us, but it's not really ours.

We're simply custodians.
