History of Penmyarth

Penmyarth House was purchased with the rest of the Estate in 1836 by Joseph Bailey, Lord Glanusk, thus becoming Penmyarth Park on one side of the river and Glanusk Park on the other with the main house.

Penmyarth Church was also built in 1836 and the bridge was rebuilt in 1846.

Penmyarth thus became the Dower House and in 1932 Lord Glanusk decided that Glanusk Park was too big to keep open throughout the year and therefore enlarged Penmyarth and constructed the garden around it. He built the rock garden with stone from the hill and extended the garden westwards. The ponds next to the rock garden were used for swimming and the gardens also contain other beautiful buildings including a dovecot and a Summer House. It was originally sited next to Glanusk Park and when the house was demolished it was moved brick by brick to it's present site. It overlooks the river and is surrounded by an abundance of rhododendron bushes.

Lord Glanusk moved the front door of the house to it's present position thus enabling the Drawing Room to take full advantage of the views across the park and the mountains.

This beautiful lawn is used for weddings and other events and enables the wedding party to share in the joy of the unrivalled views.
