Llangoed Hall, (also known as Llangoed Castle), Boughrood, Wales

This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

Llangoed Hall was the first major architectural commission in the career of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, worked around the core of an early-17th-century house. The structure of Williams-Ellis's garden also survives intact and includes paved terraces, a sunken lawn and a maze. The design for the garden and grounds incorporated existing 19th-century features such as tree planting and a ha-ha. Llangoed Hall has been a hotel since about 1990.

Brief history of site

The original house was built by the Williams family of Old Gwernyfed in the early-17th century. They moved into Llangoed Hall as their principal residence in the late-18th century. A London hatter, Sir Archibald Christy, bought the diminished estate in 1860 and commissioned Williams-Ellis in the early-20th century. The property, in a state of decline, was bought by a hotel group in 1987 and opened as Llangoed Hall Hotel in 1990.
