Lake at Tredegar House
My impression of the man-made lake in the wonderful gardens of Tredegar House in Newport, South Wales. Trees of blossom frame this work in vibrant colours.
This manor house is one of the architectural wonders of Wales and one of the most significant late 17th-century houses in the whole of the British Isles. Saved from ruin bt the National Trust.
Situated within 90 acres of beautiful gardens and parkland, this delightful red brick house provides an ideal setting for a traditional painting.
For more than 500 years the house was home to one of the greatest Welsh families, the Morgans, later Lords Tredegar. The Morgan family owned more than 40,000 acres in Monmouthshire, Breconshire and Glamorgan at the end of the 18th century. Their lives impacted on the population of south-east Wales socially, economically and politically and influenced the heritage of the area.
