What is recorded here

Ffonmon Castle Park and Grounds, Rhoose is a Post Medieval park recorded in the national monument list for the Vale of Glamorgan. It stands as a shaped landscape rather than a building, perhaps marking the grounds of a residence whose rooms no longer answer knock. The distinction matters because a park can hide more history than a castle, holding boundaries, gardens and memory without stone proof.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ffonmon Castle Park and Grounds, Rhoose as Park from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Ffonmon Castle was built in the 17th century by the Morgan family, a prominent local landowning family in Glamorgan. It is remembered for its historic parkland and as an example of early post-medieval country house architecture in south Wales.
