Nanteos kennels/eyecatcher is a nineteenth-century structure located within the designed landscape of Nanteos House near Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, Wales. The building served a dual purpose as both functional kennels for the estate and as an ornamental eyecatcher, a decorative architectural feature designed to enhance views within the designed grounds. Characteristic of Post-Medieval and Modern period garden architecture, the structure reflects the integration of practical estate management with aesthetic garden design principles that were prevalent in Victorian country house landscapes. The site is registered as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw designation SAM CD205, recognising its historical importance to the understanding of nineteenth-century Welsh estate development.
