Location: Wales
Situated two miles northwest of Crickhowell, Powys, the Glanusk Park Estate has been owned by the same family since 1826 when the Welsh Iron Master, Sir Joseph Bailey, built a large Mansion House overlooking the River Usk and then extended the supporting Estate throughout Breconshire.
Sadly, the original house was demolished in 1952 after the death of his direct descendant, the 3rd Lord Glanusk. The latter's daughter, the Hon Mrs Legge-Bourke LVO, the present Lord Lieutenant of Powys, and her family now live in the extended Dower House, Penmyarth. Neither the remaining Dower House nor the Estate is open to the public.
There are a number of good golf courses nearby including Celtic Manor. Trout fishing is available on the Estate's private beat in season as well as shooting.
The River Usk runs through the Listed Park, providing beautiful riverside walks. The Park is also home to the largest Celtic standing stone in Wales and many specimen and exotic trees.
