Lymore, Montgomery, Timber-framed mansion in Powys, Wales
Lymore is a timber-framed mansion in Powys featuring multiple historic rooms, a wine cellar, games room, and an outdoor swimming pool. The structure sits across 12 acres of woodland and offers views spanning three different counties.
The house was built in 1675 by Edward Herbert, Third Baron Herbert of Chirbury, replacing earlier family residences. A major reconstruction in the 1930s involved bringing materials from a distant manor house to the site.
The property stands on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens due to its landscape features and connection to Welsh architectural heritage.
The estate sits in a wooded area with good vantage points and is relatively easy to reach. Visitors should be prepared for uneven terrain and the large grounds that invite exploration.
Materials for constructing the current building were transported from a manor located 60 miles away during the 1930s reconstruction project.
