Golden Grove, Grade II* listed building in Llanfihangel Aberbythych, Wales.
Golden Grove mansion exhibits Tudor architecture combined with Scottish Baronial elements, constructed from local black marble limestone with steeply pitched slate roofs.
The estate, purchased by Baron Cawdor in 1804, replaced an older Vaughan family mansion, with the current structure commissioned around 1826 by John Frederick Campbell.
The mansion demonstrates the architectural preferences of Welsh nobility, incorporating both regional materials and sophisticated design elements from London craftsmen.
The building contains multiple entrances marked by gate lodges, with the grounds now functioning as a country park open for public exploration.
During World War II, the United States Air Force occupied the mansion before it transformed into a campus for Carmarthenshire College of Technology.
