Cadw's description
Location
The SE entrance to the park at Penbedw, N of a junction with a minor road to Llandyrnog.
History
Penbedw was a Georgian country house purchased by William Barber Buddicom, an established railway engineer, in 1852. Improvements were made to the park soon after, including Mold Lodge and its adjacent gateway, which formed one of the main entrances to the park. The gateway and lodge are shown on the 1871 Ordnance Survey. The main house was demolished in 1958.
Exterior
Comprising monolithic square gate piers with pyramidal caps and a wide wooden gate. Flanking walls of snecked dressed stone with ramped copings curve outwards to the road, and on the W side curve round to the minor road on the SE side of the park entrance. On the E side the wall continues as a rubble-stone wall in front of Mold Lodge.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-preserved mid C19 gateway forming a strong visual group with Mold Lodge in a prominent location.
