Treberfydd, Grade I listed building in Llangors, Wales
Description
Treberfydd is a stone mansion in Llangors featuring Gothic Revival elements such as gargoyles, gables, and stained glass windows. The building was constructed with stone extracted from the surrounding fields.
History
The mansion was built between 1847 and 1850 by architect John Loughborough Pearson for Robert Raikes. The family later faced financial difficulties when their bank failed during the 1860s.
Culture
The gardens display a carefully arranged design with flowerbeds shaped according to the Raikes family monogram. This pattern links the house to its surrounding landscape and reveals how the family chose to present themselves.
Practical
The property opens to visitors for several weeks during the summer season. The Gothic architecture is best appreciated in natural light, making daytime visits most rewarding.

The mansion served as a filming location for the BBC television series Doctor Who, with scenes shot in 2007 and a Christmas special. The television appearance brought the property wider recognition beyond Wales.
