Erddig, Wrexham - 252.06ha (622.85acres) A late 17th century house, containing much of the furniture and textiles supplied for it in the 1720s, with an early 18th century formal garden. The magnificent state bedroom is decorated in the Chinese taste. An unusually rich history of master/servant relations includes a servants' hall with 18th century portraits of estate and household staff and there is a complete range of outbuildings with smithy, joiner's shop and bakery still in operation. The property was extensively restored in 1973-77 following severe mining subsidence. Given in 1973 with an extensive area of land, by Mr P.S.Yorke.

The Prospect Tower stands at the top of a field above the house. It is a triangular, sixty-foot slate and stone tower with concave sides, three pinnacles and blind church-style windows.
From a distance it looks similar to a church tower with the full four sides. The 'missing' fourth side is said to have been felt unnecessary because it was intended to be viewed from a distance. The concave walls are part of the same plan.
It was built at around 1789 in celebration of a visit by King George III and Queen Charlotte.
There is a second story - not incompatible with the first - that the tower was erected so the servants of the house could signal to Maker church. This was high above the family's other home at Mount Edgcumbe ten miles south.
The National Trust installed a wooden spiral staircase in 1980 so that visitors could enjoy the view.
