Nantclwyd Y Dre Historic House and Gardens

Nantclwyd y Dre offers a unique exploration of over 500 years of history, from medieval up to the 20th century. Step through the seven ages of this beautifully restored Grade I listed house as it reveals the lives of its residents. Begin your journey in 1435 and learn about how the building expanded from a weaver’s hall house to a 17th century lawyer’s townhouse and a Victorian school for young girls. The Lord’s Garden is a beautifully tranquil space right in the heart of Ruthin. Bring a picnic or simply take a stroll through lush greenery and vibrant colours with backdrop views of the Clwydian Range and Ruthin Castle. Young visitors can travel through time, discovering the 7 ages of Nantlclwyd by completing a Time Traveller's passport, and our “bat cam” is a great opportunity to observe our special maternity roost of Lesser horseshoe, Long-eared brown and Pipistrelle bats.
