Gwaenynog is a small estate about 1 km (0.62 mi) to the south-west of the town of Denbigh, Wales. Its origins are mediaeval when it was built as a house for the Myddelton family. The Myddeltons claimed descent from Rhirid Flaidd, of the House of Cunedda, hereditary Kings of Gwynedd. Anglicising themselves and their name after the conquest of Wales, they thrived as prominent local landowners and politicians. Basing themselves ultimately at Chirk Castle, they served as receivers of Denbigh, governors of its castle and as members of parliament for Denbighshire and Denbigh Boroughs. Originally the principal family house, Gwaenynog descended to a cadet branch after the purchase of Chirk. This first building was a timber-framed hall-house dating to the middle of the 16th century. Extended in the 18th century, in 1774 the then owner, Colonel John Myddleton, hosted his relative Hester Thrale and her close friend, the lexicographer Samuel Johnson, a visit Myddleton commemorated by the erection of a monument in the grounds. In the 19th century, the house passed out of Myddleton ownership and came into the possession of Fred Burton, whose wife was an aunt of Beatrix Potter. Potter stayed at the house on many occasions between 1895-1912 and the walled kitchen garden was the inspiration for The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. Mr Macgregor's potting shed still stands. The house, which remains privately owned, is a Grade II* listed building and its gardens and landscaped park are listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

The direct line of the Salusbury branch ended in 1791 and the estate passed to a cousin's son, Colonel John Lloyd, on condition that he adopted the Salusbury arms and name. Following his marriage in 1810, the building was probably much altered, including by the construction of a Regency-style entrance that still exists.The house passed to the cousin's daughter, Anna Maria Salusbury, on his death. She married Townshend Mainwaring of Marchwiel Hall, who at various times was a Member of Parliament, Justice of the Peace and High Sheriff of Denbighshire. It was again remodelled in the 1860s, using designs by the Denbigh firm of Lloyd Williams and Underwood that included a galleried stair hall. The estate, which comprised 10,686 acres (4,324 ha) in 1873, was then inherited ones of their sons, Charles Salusbury Mainwaring, who in turn bequeathed it to Randle Kynaston Lloyd Salusbury Mainwaring.Gallfaenan next passed out of the Mainwaring family to Ernest Tate, the sugar magnate, in 1926. He arranged the construction of an additional wing designed by F. C. Saxon, with other interior work by Waring and Gillow.As of 2019, Galltfaenan was in use as a care home.

Stanley, finding fragments of stone tools along with numerous animal bones which had been laid down over a wide period, probably accumulated in the caves by water action.The 'Old Cave' passage is a remnant of a former underground course of the River Elwy, eroded through the limestone and then left behind by the continued downcutting of the gorge.
