Introduction
The garden at Trewyn has the remains of late-17th-century terracing and steps. From the top terrace there is a view along a fragment of an axial avenue of pine trees running through the 17th-century landscape park. There is also probable 19th-century terracing and ornamental woodland planted in the early-20th century.
