Some historic manor houses in Wales are absolute gems, not just for the chapters of colourful history they bring with them but for the features, atmosphere, and land, plus the kudos for an owner - the next custodian to pick up the keys and enjoy living in such a special house.
Every corner you turn, flight of steps you climb and garden area you discover at Goytre Hall offers you another layer of uniqueness and joy that such a special house and garden still exist and can still amaze with what it has to offer, even centuries after its original construction.
The house is thought to have medieval origins and was the home of Thomas Herbert, son of the first Earl of Pembroke during the 15th century, although Cadw have stated that there is no obvious evidence for this at the site and the provenance of the date of 1447 over the main door is unknown.
