Historical Significance

Trawscoed Mansion is one of the most historically important country houses in Ceredigion. Dating back to the 13th century and extensively remodelled in the 17th and 19th centuries, the house was the ancestral seat of the Vaughan family, later the Earls of Lisburne. During its height in the Victorian era, the estate extended to over 42,000 acres.

From 1947, the mansion served as the Welsh headquarters for the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and the East Wing has since been sensitively converted for private ownership.
