Its history is one of private ownership, particularly by the Vivian family, and is intimately bound up with that of the city of Swansea. Although partly encroached on, the remainder of the original park is mostly well preserved. The landscaping of Singleton Park, which was contemporary with the building of Singleton Abbey and its garden, is of exceptional quality and contains many fine and unusual trees and shrubs. Of particular interest is the work of the architect P.F. Robinson, who designed not only the house but its formal garden, which remains, the Swiss Cottage and several picturesque lodges. He also had a hand in designing the model farm, Singleton Farm, which is of great historical interest.
