Cadw's description
Location
Located on the S side of the A547 and adjacent to Llwyni Lodge, originally providing access to the former N avenue to Kinmel Park which begins at Morfa Lodge.
History
Probably built shortly after 1863, when St Asaph Turnpike road line was moved to the line of the old A55, to provide the main entrance to Kinmel. Probably to the design of Thomas Hopper, who adopted the Greek style for the new main house at Kinmel.
Exterior
Sandstone ashlar, panelled, with a carved Grecian fret and a fluted square cap band carrying small crouching lions. The original iron gates and stanchions are missing.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with the Grade I Llwyni Lodge and as specially good gate-piers.
