Llanover Park

Introduction

Llanover Park is a landscape park surviving in its entirety, composed of two estates which were amalgamated in the mid-19th century, when most of the planting took place. There are well-preserved, late-18th-century water and walled gardens around the older house on the estate. The arboretum features many champion trees.
