Introduction
Dolaucothi has early-19th century parkland, with the remnants of a possible lime avenue. The walled garden is partially intact, and there are a few specimen trees. The house was demolished in 1951. The National Trust owns the adjacent Roman goldmines. It is unclear whether the Trust also owns the park and gardens.
