The Mynde, Grade II listed building in Caerleon, United Kingdom
Description
The Mynde is a 1928 country house located at the southern end of Castle Street in Caerleon. The building sits within a walled estate spanning roughly 3.5 acres and retains its Grade II listed status as a protected structure.
History
The house was built in 1928, following the discovery of Roman villa remains on the site during 19th-century excavations. The estate walls were constructed partly as a protective measure during a period of local social tension.
Culture
The property became a center of local arts when Dr. Russell Rhys established the Caerleon Arts Festival and created the Ffwrwm arts center nearby.
Practical
The estate is managed as part of a luxury resort operation and remains under national heritage protection. Access may be limited since this is a private property, so visitors should check on viewing arrangements in advance.
Did you know?
The garden wall along the northeast side of Castle Street was positioned to frame views toward the valley from different vantage points. This intentional placement creates natural reference markers that help visitors understand their position within the broader landscape.
