Shirenewton Hall, Grade II listed country house in Shirenewton, Wales
Shirenewton Hall is a country house in Wales set on elevated ground with classical architecture from the 1830s, containing twelve bedrooms and spanning roughly thirty acres of estate. The Grade II listed building sits within grounds that include a Japanese garden with ponds, bridges, and pathways.
The main building was constructed in 1830 on land that had earlier significance in religious circles. The estate later expanded with gardens added in the early 1900s that reflected contemporary landscape design trends.
The Japanese garden displays a carefully arranged design with tiered ponds and winding paths that reflect early 20th-century tastes for Eastern aesthetics. Visitors can see how this style shaped the property's layout and remains a focal point of the grounds today.
The estate benefits from convenient road connections to major airports in the region via motorways. The expansive grounds with developed gardens require time to explore fully, especially if you want to see all areas and walk the pathways.
A substantial bronze bell from Asia rests in a teahouse with a pagoda-style roof, which itself carries separate historic protection status. This unusual addition reveals the deliberate collecting interests of earlier owners.
