Newton House

Newton House

Newton House is owned and maintained by the National Trust, and is situated in Dinefwr Park, also known as Dynefor Park. Within the grounds are the remains of Dinefwr Castle, which is maintained by Cadw. It lies close to the centre of the market town of Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. It was formerly the main residence of the family of Earl Cawdor, and had been restored to what it would have been as an estate house of the Victorian/Edwardian period. It is surrounded by a deer park which was landscaped by Capability Brown. A small garden behind the house has been restored to its former glory, and overlooks the deer park. The garden is styled under Moorish influence with a central fountain surrounded by walks. It helps to soften the rather severe Gothic style of the building (which itself owes its present style to a Victorian restoration of an earlier Georgian house).
