Llanerchaeron

When commissioned to design a new house at Llanerchaeron in 1783, John Nash was a little known architect from London. He later established his reputation as a great Regency architect responsible for designing the Royal pavilion in Brighton and Buckingham palace.

Built in the late 18th century the walled gardens at Llanerchaeron have been producing fruit and vegetables for over 200 years. Originally a high tech hive of Georgian industry the gardens have a much more romantic and dreamy feeling about them today.

Llanerchaeron was designed to supply all its own needs as well as that of the local community. Today we continue that tradition by producing our own reared meat and produce from the garden.

Llanerchaeron owes its survival, as an intact Nash estate, largely due to the role and actions of certain women who made the estate their home.

At Llanerchaeron the team have embarked on a long-term project to restore the Georgian Pleasure Grounds

Located just off the farm yard, the Geler Jones collection is a treasure trove of early 20th century agricultural and domestic machinery.

No visit to Llanerchaeron would be complete without a visit to the café, located in a beautiful woodland setting on the banks of the river Aeron.

Llanerchaeron is a working estate that produces home grown meat, vegetables and plants that you can buy in our shop.

Any time of year is great for visiting Llanerchaeron – in spring, flowers carpet the woods; in summer, the estate is full of song and colour. Autumn brings beautiful colours to the woods, while winter sees early birds nesting in unusual places.

Hay meadows, important grassland habitats, over recent years, have faced national decline. In Ceredigion we’ve been working to restore our meadows as part of the 'Save our Magnificent Meadows' project.

Nestled in the tranquil Aeron valley, the Llanerchaeron estate provides a beautiful backdrop to your special day.
