Why Nant Gwylan is Special
Nant Gwylan is a house and garden that was built around 1905. A well-known bricklayer named John Peat built it. The house and its smaller buildings are from the Edwardian era (the early 1900s). They are still in great condition today. The property also has a charming garden from the same time.
The Davies family lived at Nant Gwylan for over 90 years. The garden has stayed mostly the same since it was first created. The house, however, has changed and grown over time. New parts were added, and verandas were closed in.
Miss Llewella Davies, who was part of the Davies family, looked after the house and garden for a very long time. She was honored for her important work in the Camden community. In 1999, she even received a special "key to the town."
Nant Gwylan also has a connection to the farmland across the street. This land belonged to the Davies family from 1908 to 2000. Miss Davies later gave this land to the town in her will.
Nant Gwylan and Garden was officially listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
