A Victorian country house on the southern verge of the Brecon Beacons, built in 1840 by Captain Rice Davies Powell. On a terraced site above the river Tawe Captain Powell created a mock Gothic castle of local limestone. His design called for a grand mansion, but costs outstripped Powell's funds, and the north wing remained unfinished.
