Penpont Manor House

Penpont is a seventeenth-century Grade I listed 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.[1] 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.
