What is recorded here

Ruperra Castle, Garden, Draethen stands in Caerphilly, Wales, as a Post Medieval country house garden. Its grounds may still hold the shape of old walks, planting beds and private views, even when the castle rooms fade from memory. A place recorded as a garden suggests people once walked it for pleasure, patience and pride rather than work alone.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ruperra Castle, Garden, Draethen 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.

Ruperra Castle was built in the early 18th century by Sir Thomas Williams, 1st Baronet of Ruperra. It is remembered for its historic country house and associated formal gardens, which reflect the architectural and horticultural tastes of the Welsh gentry during the Georgian period.
