Lymore was a large half-timbered house in Lymore Park, about a mile east-southeast of Montgomery in Powys, Wales, built by Edward Herbert, 3rd Baron Herbert of Chirbury, to replace his family's residences at Montgomery Castle and Black Hall. Dated by a gable finial to around 1675 and completed in 1677, it had a close-studded timber-framed front with an open three-bay ground-floor loggia, six gables and a central pyramid-roofed lookout tower, with brick service wings behind. The house was demolished in 1931, though the Gardeners' Cottages and the former Steward's house still stand on the overgrown site, and the surrounding park and gardens are listed at Grade II on the Cadw and ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales; the Earls of Powis continue to own and maintain the park.
