Penpont Manor House

Penpont is a seventeenth-century Grade I listed[1] manor house in the Usk valley between Brecon and Sennybridge in Powys, Wales. It was built by Daniel Williams on the site of, and perhaps incorporating, an earlier house, Abercamlais-isaf (Welsh:lower Abercamlais). The frontage dates from 1815.[2] Penpont Bridge, a grade II* listed structure, spans the Usk by means of four segmented stone arches. The gardens at Penpont are influenced by Repton but have a long history from the seventeenth century with the addition of a celebrated Green Man maze in recent years. Less than half a mile upstream is Abercamlais with which comparisons are made, the two houses having some shared history.
