Introduction
Penbedw is a small 19th-century landscape park with surviving elements of a 17th- and 18th-century formal layout. There is a wilderness with a grotto and a pavilion set in plantations with axial rides. Nearer the site of the house, which is no longer standing, is a rockery and formal garden dating from the late-19th or early-20th century.
