Wenvoe Castle, Wenvoe, Wales
Record Id: 3461
The mid-18th century rococo landscaping in Bears Wood, where the remains of a grotto and serpentine canal survive, is of particular interest. Earlier remains incude the house platform and probably the terrace behind it, known as the 'Green'. The mid-18th century shrubbery, nursery, walled gardens and long walk may also be adaptations of earlier garden features.
