Tredegar House

Show me...

One of the grandest stately homes in Wales, Tredegar House was bought by the National Trust in 2011 and opened its doors to visitors in 2013. Highlights of the self-guided tour include the grand baroque Jacobean New Hall and the enormous Victorian kitchens, both restored to their former glory. Don't miss the lavish Victorian Side Hall, lined with portraits of the Morgan family, which owned Tredegar until the 1950s. The grounds include immaculately laid-out formal gardens and an orangery. Tredegar is just outside Newport, 12 miles northwest of Cardiff. £6.80. House Mar.–Oct., weekends 11–5; mid–late Feb., weekends 11–4:30. Gardens Mar.–Oct., weekends 10:30–5, mid–late Feb., weekends 11–4:30.
