SHELL HOUSE

The Cilwendeg Shell House Hermitage is a most remarkable ornamental grotto, and a rare survival in West Wales. It was originally built in the 1820s as a fashionable private garden retreat for the Morgan Jones family, the owners of the Cilwendeg Mansion at that time... The Grade II* listed building, along with 1.27 acres of woodland surroundings, is now owned by The Temple Trust, a historic building preservation charity for England and Wales.
