What is recorded here

Penllyn Castle and its garden occupy the Vale of Glamorgan as a Post Medieval country house landscape. The main building has disappeared, but the garden structure remains visible enough to mark where domestic life once shaped the land. That absence makes the place harder to forget because the missing castle must be imagined through what still survives below it.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Penllyn Castle, Garden, Penllyn as Country House Garden 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.

Penllyn Castle was built in the 16th century by the Vaughan family, a prominent Welsh gentry family. It is remembered for its historic country house and associated garden, which reflect the architectural and horticultural tastes of the post-medieval period in Wales.
