Breaking News: He plans his own end – King Charles asks Queen Camilla for one last Wish before he passes away
Charles III has revealed, at different times, that his Llwynywermod estate in Carmarthen, Wales, is the place where he’d like to spend his final days. Far from the top-level and protocol of Buckingham Palace, this historic rural retreat has become his favorite escape, a place filled with simplicity and surrounded by nature.
A Retreat with History and Ecological Commitment
Llwynywermod is an eighteenth-century property that covers 190 acres (77 hectares) and was originally a farm. Charles III acquired it in 2007 and since then has turned it into his official residence in Wales during his visits to the country. With the help of architect Craig Hamilton, he transformed the estate into a space made up of three cottages and a barn, all designed with recycled and local materials to be sustainable.
The estate is a clear example of sustainable living. It has a boiler that uses wood chips to heat the complex and a system that filters water from reed beds along with a tank that stores rainwater. The dining room was created from an old stable, with doors and shutters made from oak from the Duchy of Cornwall, and the kitchen keeps a traditional style.
This peaceful environment, surrounded by centuries-old trees and meadows where sheep graze, is the place where King Charles feels at peace. He has stated that Llwynywermod is his ideal refuge to disconnect and recharge, far from the hustle and bustle of London and royal duties.
