Tredegar House

Things to see and do

Enjoy the gardens

Our walled gardens are some of the most important early eighteenth century garden landscapes in Wales. Over the years they've changed and developed as new fashions took hold and they bloomed or suffered as the Morgan family’s fortunes rose and fell.

How many faces can you spot in the Brown Room?

Discover the mansion house

Explore some of our most impressive spaces when you visit the mansion house, from the glistening Gilt Room to the modest Servant's Hall. Step back in time as you uncover Tredegar House’s history.

Explore the parkland

A surviving fragment of a once magnificent estate, the parkland at Tredegar House covers more than 90 acres. An oasis at the heart of a post-industrial landscape, the parkland provides a haven for wildlife and visitors alike, and is beloved by our local community and their four-legged friends.
