Tredegar House Country Park

Tredegar House Country Park is a landscaped park in the community of Coedkernew, in Newport, Wales. The park forms the grounds of Tredegar House, for over 500 years the home of the Morgan family. The park was first laid-out in the 1660s in a formal style. Beginning in the 1790s, when the park reached its circa 1,000-acre (400 ha) greatest extent, Adam Mickle (c. 1747–1811) deformalised the park and added the lake. Encroaching building developments in the 20th-century caused the park to become fragmented, today spanning only 90-acre (36 ha). In 1951, the Morgan family sold Tredegar House and Park to the Sisters of St. Joseph who used the property as a school until 1974, when it was bought by Newport County Council. Since 2012 it has been managed by the National Trust as part of a 50-year lease agreement with the council. It is Grade II*-listed on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales for "the survival of parts of grand late seventeenth-century layout, including garden walls, gatescreen, inorganic parterres and avenue."
