Pilot Anglesey Abbey Podcast/MP3 Audio Guide
Plug in your headphones and listen to Tim bring to life in his
inimitable style the history of the house, Lord Fairhaven's collections and tell you about the many paintings, clocks and artefacts. The self guided audio tour begins with an introduction to the history of Anglesey Abbey and Lord Fairhaven, and includes a tour through the major rooms of the house - the Living Room, the Oak Room and the Dining Room. Narrated by Tim Wonnacott.
MP3 or Podcast? The audio walk can be played on any iPod, MP3 player or mobile phone with MP3. The audio walk is easy to get as either a podcast or MP3 tracks. If you have a compatible screen on your player you will also see pictures of the places being talked about.
Which format is right for you? If you have iTunes or other podcasting software, we recommend the podcast as it is easier. Otherwise choose the MP3 format.
