Cadw's description
Location
On the slope above Treholford E of the house.
History
Probably earlier C19 and contemporary with Treholford which was built in 1796 and enlarged in 1837 and belonged to the Gwynne Holford family.
Exterior
Garden is L shaped, the main plot rectangular with a W section providing access from the house up a steep flight of stone steps. Wall is rubble with narrow flat stone coping, stepped up to hillside, bounded at NW by the stable block; entrance by house and two further doorways on hillside N and S. Stone kerbs to beds.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with Treholford as a complete early C19 walled garden probably contemporary with the Regency remodelling of the house.
