Introduction
Coedmore features an early-19th-century house surrounded by a garden laid out in Picturesque style. A layout of paths, steps and bridges is set within extensive woodland on the steep flanks of the dramatic Teifi valley. Within the woodland is a curious, older enclosed garden with a ruined summerhouse. There is also a view of Cilgerran Castle from the house and garden.
