Llanerchaeron also houses the Pamela Ward collection of fine Georgian treen and glassware.	Llanerchaeron Tel. 01545 570200 Email: Llanerchaeron@ntrust.org.uk Llanerchaeron is a rare survivor of a late 18th c Welsh country estate. The fine house was built by neo classical architect John Nash between 1794 and 1796 and is the most complete example of his early work. There is a well-proportioned service wing in an Italianate courtyard with two kitchens, a larder, a laundry, a dairy, a brewery and a salting house. However it is the extensive range of farm buildings including stables, stock sheds, threshing barns and stone rick stands which makes Llanerchaeron so special. The two large walled gardens complete with a range of glass houses are a further delight.
