"Llanerchaeron is a rare example of a self-sufficient 18th century Welsh minor gentry estate, which has survived virtually unaltered.
The villa, designed in the 1790s, is the most complete example of the early work of John Nash. It has its own service courtyard with dairy, laundry, brewery and salting house, and walled kitchen gardens produce fruit and vegetables, herbs and plants, all on sale in seasonal.
The pleasure grounds with ornamental lake provide wonderful peaceful walks, The Home Farm complex has an impressive range of traditional and atmospheric outbuildings and is now a working organic farm with Welsh Black cattle, Llanwenog sheep and rare Welsh pigs.
Visitors can see farming activities in progress, such as lambing, shearing and hay-making. Beyond, the wide expanse of parkland offers breathtaking walks through the beautiful Aeron Valley."

Cafe food very good, Mrs.M just making cawl!We enjoyed the Apple Day last Thursday, having brought an elderly friend,aged 88, who is very knowledgable about apples, and who needs a wheel chair, we found access first class, apart from the difficulty in opening the disabled toilet door from the inside, luckily my wife had to go in with our friend, otherwise there could have been a problem. We look forwrd to the expert's comments on the types of apple we left with him.

Llanerchaeron is a beautiful place with a very interesting house with helpful and pleasant staff. The garden is very well stocked and the wooded areas round the estate are well worth a walk in!

We joined the N.T. a few years ago just to get in to this place cheap! We walk along the old railway track to it most weeks. The staff are very friendly, and they do a nice cup of tea! We sit in the walled garden and watch the swallows performing aeronautics. The Lake Isle is like something out of W.B.Yeats.We have watched the garden being developed from a derelict state and it is on a par with the Seigneurie on Sark, but better in that it has plenty of seats for the visitor.For anyone who wants an unforgettable day out - Go Llanerchaeron!
