Notes on Danywern, Glanusk Estate, Crickhowell, Brecknock 2012
This was once the gamekeepers cottage on the Glanusk estate. Now totally ruined. It would seem to have been a typical Welsh cottage with an extension bolted onto one gable end which then became the main entrance.
This image has flare caused by photographing towards the morning sun.

By Glenys Alexander: My uncle and aunt, Sally and Brin Price were tenants of Danywern farm and I remember wonderful Summer holidays with them and Maggie their housekeeper, 60 or so years ago. As far as I know it was always the farmhouse.never heard it called gamekeepers cottage. By Jess Watkins: This is the farmhouse my great grandparents and 7 children lived in 1869-1880. My great grandfather, John Watkins, was accused of killing the game keeper, George King, for whom King's Woods is named after. He was tried and released for lack of evidence.
