Llwynywermod , ( Welsh Llwynywermwd) , also called Llwynywormwood , is a property owned by the Duchy of Cornwall and used by Charles, Prince of Wales , (who is also the Duke of Cornwall ) in the village of Myddfai , Llandovery , Carmarthenshire , on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales in the United Kingdom .

The property with an area of ​​0.78 km 2 was acquired by the Duchy of Cornwall in March 2007. The current residential building with three bedrooms was originally the coach house of the now dilapidated mansion Llwynywormwood of the Baronets Griffies-Williams, which in the 19th century was considered one of the most beautiful properties in Wales. William Griffies-Williams , the builder of the house, was related to Anne Boleyn , the second wife of Henry VIII. In the 13th century, the property was the seat of the Healers of Myddfai, who were rooted in Celtic tradition.

The renovation in the typical rural style using traditional materials and construction techniques was the responsibility of the Craig Hamilton Architects

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall moved into the house for the first time in June 2008 as the Welsh seat in the sense of the position of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales (= Prince of Wales) , in whose status he according to tradition as the British heir to the throne as early as 1969 had been raised by his mother Queen Elizabeth II .

When the house is not being used by Prince Charles, it can be rented as a vacation home.
