Bedwellty House and park are located in the Sirhowy Valley in the town of Tredegar. The house is a grade II listed building and dates to the earliest years of the 19th century. The park is a designated conservation area and a registered historic park. The park includes landscape areas and historically significant structures.
This project represents a true partnership between Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, the local community and funding agencies including The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Welsh Government, European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Cadw.
