About Plannwch y Plas

Plannwch Y Plas is situated on the site of a former lavish Victorian gothic mansion and gardens called ‘Plas Dinas’ built by Sir Edmund Buckley in 1872. While the building was badly damaged by fire in January 1917 and demolished in 1960, significant elements of the walled garden and associated buildings remain. It is within this backdrop that our community group wishes to grow as intended 150 years ago. The garden and woodland within the scope of Plannwch Y Plas extends to approximately 8 acres and is bordered to the north by the Afon Cerist. The woodland is forms part of a designated Restored Ancient Woodland which measures 38.6 acres.

There are several walks available within and from the site which may be on interest to our visitors. Guided tours of the site will take place throughout the day and there is a play area for children within the curtilage.
