History

Historic buildings at Clytha Estate

Home of possibly the last 'Greek-style' house in Wales and one of the outstanding 18th-century follies of Wales, Clytha Estate has many interesting architectural features. With its Gothic gateway, railings and Lodge House, Grade-listed farms and walled garden, Clytha Estate is a true architectural delight.
