Description
The kitchen garden wall and attached outbuildings date from the 18th century and enclose a large, slightly skewed square-shaped kitchen garden that measures approximately 120 meters by 120 meters, with an additional irregularly-shaped area to the south. The stone east wall of the main section stands about 4.5 meters high, while the stone west wall is slightly taller and features slate coping. The main entrance, located on the west side, has lower stone piers. The north wall, also made of stone, reaches approximately 5 meters in height, and the south wall, which is roughly the same height, has a series of brick and slate-roofed outbuildings attached to its northern side. The outbuildings at the eastern end appear to be older than the others. Inside, several internal walls remain, including part of an unusual fruit wall along the southern side of two northern sections; this fruit wall is about 2 meters high and constructed from thin slate slabs slotted into metal uprights. The wall of the irregularly-shaped southern section is also made of stone, lined with brick on the north and west sides, reaching a maximum height of 2 meters and topped with slate coping. A modern gateway with wrought-iron gates provides the entrance to Penrhyn. Although the structure has undergone many alterations, lean-to brick and stone outbuildings still exist on the outside of the west wall of the main garden, both to the north and south of the main entrance.
