Introduction
The park, woodland grounds and terraced garden at Cefn Mably are associated with a major Glamorgan house. The steep slopes and mature oaks of the southern half of the park are visible from a wide area to the south. Some terracing and a kitchen garden date from the 18th century and the garden was further developed in the 19th and 20th centuries.
