Clyne Castle, Grade II* listed house in Mumbles, Wales
The stone castle rises at an elevation of 40 meters, featuring a symmetrical design with corner towers and large windows overlooking Swansea Bay.
Built in 1791, the castle became the residence of the Vivian family from 1860 to 1952, when it was sold to Swansea Corporation for £17,000.
The estate held valuable art collections and furniture gathered by Graham Vivian during his international travels in the early 20th century.
The castle stands near Clyne Gardens, which displays a collection of mature trees, shrubs, and rhododendrons open to public viewing.
Workers at the estate followed strict protocols, including mandatory salutes to Admiral Walker Heneage-Vivian, who wore only shorts and a cape during walks.
