Mostyn Hall

Introduction

Mostyn Hall is situated on the Dee estuary. There is a former deer park enclosed by mixed woodland and a fine early-19th-century parkland layout, with numerous drives and lodges. Further work to restore and rejuvenate the gardens continues into the 21st century and includes a 20th-century Japanese garden.
