About
Benjamin Waddington, the direct ancestor of the current owners, purchased the house and land in 1792. Subsequently he created a series of ponds, cascades and rills which form the backbone of the 15 acre garden as the stream winds its way from its source in the Black Mountains to the River Usk. There are herbaceous borders, a drive lined with narcissi, spring bulbs, wild flowers, a water garden, champion trees and two arboreta.
The house (not open) is the birthplace of Augusta Waddington, Lady Llanover, C19 patriot, supporter of the Welsh language and traditions. Gwerinyr Gwent will be performing Welsh folk dances during the afternoon in traditional Welsh costume.
