Stradey Castle, near Llanelli, is the home of the Mansel Lewis family. The present House has remained virtually unchanged since it was built by the family in around 1850.
The House is surrounded by parkland and a woodland garden containing a large collection of trees and shrubs; these frame the lovely view across the estuary to Gower and provides seclusion and privacy to the House.
Private group tours by appointment, only.
Private tours of the house can be arranged with the owners and tailored to the needs and interests of the group.
Stradey Castle is a rare example of a ‘set piece’ Victorian house which has been in the same family for 5 generations and is a wonderful place for schools to visit. Our ‘behind the scenes tour’ is particularly special, because very little has been disposed of, it is possible to get a good idea of how the house would have functioned more than 100 years ago.
We can offer guided visits, by appointment, to Primary and Secondary school children and art student groups. These tours will be run by either Patrick or Claire Mansel Lewis.
Pupils may eat their packed lunch at the house.
Please contact Claire Mansel Lewis for more information a about school visits.

We were the venue for the Dr Who Christmas Special in 2011, when Matt Smith was the good doctor. We have also thoroughly enjoyed welcoming; Alexander Armstrong, Dan Stevens, Jack Whitehall, Diana Rigg and David Suchet here in recent years.
