History

Possibly contemporary with the mid C19 rebuilding of the house and stables and general estate improvements by the 3rd Lord Newborough. Alternatively it could relate to the building of the kitchen gardens by the 2nd Lord Newborough, the nearest of which was complete before 1824. The function of this trackway was to provide direct access from the kitchen gardens to carry produce to the house.

Glynllifon was the seat of the Wynn family and Sir Thomas John Wynn became the 1st Lord Newborough in 1776. The house was rebuilt after a fire 1836-48 by Edward Haycock, architect of Shrewsbury.

Exterior

Inclined rubble-walled driveway. The southern wall is continuous with that which screens the entrance into the small enclosure at the west end of this trackway and which has the arched gateway with urn finials (listed separately); this wall at its eastern end also merges with that which borders the service drive (also listed separately). The northen wall, near the western end, has an archway with voussoirs; this opens onto a path running north along the side of the easternmost kitchen garden.

Reasons for Listing

Included for group value with Glynllifon House and other associated C19 stone walls and archways.
