The first floor rooms are set up as exhibition rooms displaying a collection of objects found during restoration of the house. One exhibition features &#8216;125 objects from Dinefwr&#8217; including things found under the floorboards.<br \/>\nExternally the house has an odd look with four square corner towers, a nineteenth century addition.<br \/>\nThe house is set in an extensive park, including a deer park, woods and with the ruined Dinefwr Castle on a hilltop. White cattle, famous for having a long association with the area, can be seen in the park. Various walks are available. The old castle can be reached by a 20-minute walk uphill through woods, and is worth the effort as substantial walls and towers remain. The castle is thought to have been built by Rhys ap Gruffydd, king of Deheubarth. The castle changed ownership a number of times but fell into disrepair after Newton House was built around 1600.<br \/>\n <figure id=\"attachment_3786\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3786\"
