Pontypool Park, Rugby stadium and park in Torfaen, Wales.
The 150-acre park contains numerous facilities including an Italian garden, ice houses, shell grotto, tennis courts, and a rugby ground for 8,800 spectators.
The grounds belonged to the Hanbury family estate and were transformed into a public park in 1920 when the local authorities purchased the land.
The park maintains its status as a Grade II listed site on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
Visitors can access multiple sports facilities, including tennis courts, bowling greens, a dry ski slope, and designated areas for children's activities.
The Pontymoile Gates, originally gifted by Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, mark the entrance to this historical Welsh parkland.
