Cadw's description
Location
To the N of Vaynol Old Hall, opposite Dairy Cottage.
History
Walled garden probably late C19; main gateway probably erected in 1911 at the same time as Dairy Cottage, and initialled CAS for Charles Assheton-Smith, who was created baronet in 1911.
Exterior
The garden is surrounded by a coped rubble stone wall, which is swept down to meet the coped square ashlar gate piers. The iron gates have a heavily scrolled wrought iron overthrow in the C18 manner incorporating initials at the centre. The pair of gates are arch-headed, with top, foot and locking rails also ornamented, and decorative iron panels each side.
On the far SW side there is another, smaller, gateway with a single iron gate with the same detailing.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with Dairy Cottage, the Butler's House, and other neighbouring listed items at the heart of Vaynol Park.
