🏛️ Insole Court is a beautifully restored Victorian Gothic mansion nestled in the leafy suburb of Llandaff, Cardiff. Originally built in the 1850s for coal magnate James Harvey Insole, the house reflects the opulence of Cardiff’s industrial heyday and the rise of the Insole family.
🌿 Today, it’s a Grade II* listed heritage site and vibrant community hub, featuring ornate gardens, a charming café (The Potting Shed), and a permanent exhibition called “This House is a Stage”, which brings the Insole family’s story to life through immersive audio drama.
🎠Visitors can enjoy guided tours, seasonal events, art workshops, and room hire in the beautifully restored Stable Yard. The site is managed by the Insole Court Trust, a charity dedicated to preserving this cultural gem for public enjoyment.
Whether you're into history, architecture, or just a peaceful stroll with coffee in hand, Insole Court is a must-see slice of Cardiff’s past and present
