Abergwynant (also known as Abergwynant Hall)

Introduction

Abergwynant is a small 19th-century garden and park with a kitchen garden and outbuildings, associated with a country house.

The site seems to have undergone very little alteration. Part of the park is hilly and wooded with many walks. A densely planted shrubbery in the garden has a layout of water channels fed from a fishpond in the park.
