Hafod Uchtryd
Hafod Uchtryd ((英語:summer mansion of Uchtryd)) is a wooded and landscaped estate, located in Ceredigion, west Wales, in the Ystwyth valley. It is near Devil's Bridge, Cwmystwyth and Pont-rhyd-y-groes off the B4574 road - which is described by the Automobile Association as one of the ten most scenic drives in the world.〔( PM should head West for a ‘hidden gem’ holiday destination. )〕 It was anciently the location of a dwelling on the side of the hill above the river Ystwyth, looking to the east. First used as a hunting lodge for Welsh Chieftains, it became home to landed gentry and nobility, and in the late eighteenth century became a celebrated landscape, under the ownership of Thomas Johnes.〔Wild Wales: Its People, Language and Scenery〕
==Early history==
The lands of the Hafod Uchtryd were within the boundaries of the Cistercian Abbey Strata Florida (Welsh: ''Caron-Uwch-Clawdd'').
After the dissolution of the monasteries by king Henry VIII (1536–1540) during the English Reformation the abbey's holdings were divided and awarded to new tenants. Some of the Strata Florida lands were granted to the Herbert family, who came to Ceredigion during the reign of Elizabeth I. Sir Richard Herbert of Pengelly and Cwmystwyth was High Sheriff of Cardigan from 22 November 1542.
A rent roll dated 1540 for the granges of Mevenith, Cwmystwyth and Hafodwen (‘newe leases’) reveals that W()m Herbert and Morgan Herbert were tenants of several properties formerly belonging to the Abbey of Strata Florida, including significantly:
Havodychdryd Doleygors Pantycrave Bwlch Gwalter parcell of Ty Loge () 4 parte of Pwll Piran parte of Pregnant(sic) Prignant Isaf and Blaenmerin and Alltgron. Havodychdryd or Hafod Uchtryd is the name of the house and demesne and the other properties.〔(The Hafod Collection )〕
The estate became famous in the late 18th century when its owner, Thomas Johnes (1748-1816), developed it as a showpiece of the Picturesque idea of landscape; the estate and the Gothic house were the subject of many descriptions and images produced by contemporary visitors. The history of the estate is the subject of several books, most notably ''Peacocks in Paradise'' by Elizabeth Inglis Jones, and ''the Hafod Landscape'' by Jennifer Macve.
The estate lies within the parish of Llanfihangel y Creuddyn. (St. Michael (Hafod), Eglwys Newydd, Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn ) was a chapel-of-ease in that parish, and was rebuilt for Thomas Johnes by James Wyatt in 1801. It is near Llanddewi-Brefi.
