Park, grounds and gardens associated with Rug mansion (NPRN 28723). The present house was built in the late eighteenth century, replacing an earlier mansion, likely to have medieval origins, on the north side of the castle mount (NPRN 306598). Lhuyd noted in the 1690s that the mount had been 'adorn'd for an ornamt'. A standing stone near the mound (NPRN 306599) is probably a relatively recent garden feature.
The grounds are depicted on the 1st edition OS County series (Merioneth. VII.16 1875). The most prominent feature within the park is a large sinuous lake, the 'fish pond', shown in a sketch of about 1700. The castle mound and the site of the old house stand on the west bank of this lake and the present house overlooks it from a terrace to the north-west. The kitchen gardens and stable yard(?) are to the west of the house. The park has two main entrances on the south and east, each with a lodge. The south lodge (NPRN 28725) stands beside ornate gates moved here in about 1740 (NPRN 28724). Rug Chapel, on the east side of the park (NPRN 43855), was built in 1637.
