Brief description of site

Coedarhydyglyn is a Picturesque early-19th-century landscape park surviving in its entirety. The walls of a late-18th-century kitchen garden survive. There is a woodland dell with a Japanese flavour, possibly designed by Alfred Parsons and partners in the early-20th century. The woodland contains notable planting of conifers and rhododendrons, with part of it planted as a pinetum in the 1940s and 1950s.

Brief history of site

The present house was begun in 1820, replacing an earlier structure nearby, and it is likely that the landscape was laid out at the same time. There was further development of the garden during the 20th century.
