Plas Gwynant is an educational resort in Snowdonia, Wales. This country estate also includes a woodland and riverside walks, as well as a parkland and 19-century garden set.[1] It was built and developed by Daniel Vawdry in 1803.[1] Today, the resort is owned by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, and most primary schools in Sandwell visit it on a yearly basis, providing skills and a good experience. West Bromwich Mountaineering Club renovated a disused barn in the grounds and have used it as their climbing hut since the early 1960s.[2] The gardens and parkland are listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.[3]
Plas Gwynant also became the home of historian James Anthony Froude, who arrived there with his wife in 1850.[4] An account cited that notable figures such as Max Muller, Matthew Arnold, Arthur Clough, and Richard Powles spend their time with him there during spring and summer.[5]
