Set in a beautiful 90 acre park, Tredegar House is one of the best examples of a 17th century Charles II mansion in Britain. The earliest surviving part of the building dates back to the early 1500’s.  Visitors can discover what life was like for those who lived above and below stairs by touring the impressive staterooms and the intriguing servants’ quarters.
