Dunraven Castle
📍 Vale of Glamorgan, Wales
About
Dunraven Castle was a mansion on the South Wales coast near Southerndown. The existing manor house was rebuilt as a castellated hunting lodge in the early 19th century and was extensively remodelled later in the century. The surviving parts of the house are a Grade II listed building and its gardens and park are designated Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
The Dunraven estate on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast has ancient roots, with an Iron Age promontory fort on the headland. The Vaughan family built a mansion here, enlarged in the 19th century by the Earls of Dunraven. The castle was demolished in 1963 after years of decline, but the walled gardens have been restored. The dramatic limestone cliffs and beach below are a popular destination.
