Description

Cwm Lodge is a small folly building constructed of rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. The structure has curved ends, with the central wall set back slightly on each side. On the west side, which faces the stream, there are two Gothic windows featuring stone voussoirs. The south end includes a blind Gothic doorway with a false door. A tall stone chimney is located at the north end. The rear wall has completely collapsed, along with most of the roof.

The interior is in ruins, with plastered, colourwashed walls and a pine roof structure. Some joist holes are visible, indicating where a loft floor once existed.

Cwm Lodge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,330 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 55 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 32 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
