Dinefwr
Recommended by
Overview
Dinefwr is an iconic place in the history of Wales. The two forts are evidence of a dominant Roman presence, through to the Medieval times when the Princes of Deheubarth held Dinefwr Castle as a seat of power and influence. In the 19th century, George and Cecil Rice created the designed landscape the park displays today, clearly inspired by 'Capability' Brown who visited in 1773. The parkland hosts many walks through Bog Wood, the Medieval Deer Park and alongside the majestic White Park Cattle. There are plenty of activities, tours and events held throughout the year. Newton House is not a traditionally “dressed” house, more a hands-on atmospheric experience telling the stories of the families that shaped this 800-acre estate.
