Explore Llanerchaeron's Y Plas connection

Llanerchaeron provided the setting for S4C's historical reality programme Y Plas, in which participants took on roles in a country household. A visit to the real estate offers its own story: the relationship between the villa, service buildings, gardens and farm. Use current National Trust information to plan which areas to see.

Look beyond the main house

John Nash designed the villa in the 1790s. Its service courtyard, gardens and farm buildings help explain how the wider estate worked. Check the National Trust's current visiting information before planning a trip.
