Introduction

Glanusk Park is an extensive and picturesque park in the upper Usk valley dating from the early-19th century and earlier. The park survives in its entirety, although the grand house designed and built by Robert Lugar between 1825 and 1830 has gone. Early-19th-century Penmyarth, the current residence of the family, overlooks the park. The remains of a mid- to late 19th-century garden by Arthur Markham Nesfield lie next to the house site and include remnants of a parterre garden with a fountain, and pleasure grounds.

The estate provides a venue for various cultural, sporting and corporate events.
