Parc, Llanfrothen

Introduction

The remains of substantial 17th-century stone-built garden terraces survive at Parc. They are associated with a group of buildings, some of which were once part of a unit system of houses, all set within a small walled park. Later industrial features on the estate include a quarry and tramway. Clough Williams Ellis owned the property in the mid-20th century.
