The site is unusual in that there are numerous contemporary photographs of it, taken by Llewelyn, who was also a pioneer of photography. Although much of his exotic planting has gone the structure of his landscaping remains, as do the ruins of his pioneering orchideous house in the walled kitchen garden. Type of site A large-scale picturesque layout of formerly wooded park and grounds, including lakes and an artificial waterfall. Large walled kitchen garden which includes the ruins of a pioneering orchideous house. Main phases of construction 1833-1882 Site description Penllergaer (or Penllergare) is a former important estate lying in the Afon Llan valley to the north of Swansea. During its heyday in the nineteenth century the ornamented grounds occupied a large area, between Melin-llan, a woollen mill, at the north end and the small hamlet and mill of Cadle at the south end. Now the M4 motorway slices off the northern tip of the grounds and the house is gone, replaced by the modern offices of Neath Port Talbot unitary authority. Although the main period of interest at Penllergaer is the nineteenth century, from 1835 onwards, the site has an older history.
