These words by Simon Yorke apparently used to be at the Coed-y-Glyn entrance to Erddig park:
Know ye who enter at this gate
To wander through this fair estate
The owner of its ancient hall
A kindly welcome bids to all
Yet hopes that noone will neglect
The following wishes to repect:-
When in meadow grown for hay
Keep to the path or right of way;
Fright not the cattle on the lea,
Nor damage flower or shrub or tree;
And let no vestiges be found
Of paper scattered on the ground.
The owner of this blest domain
Himself to sojourn here is fain,
And if by land or sea he roam
Still loveth best his native home;
Which for two centuries or near
His ancestors have held so dear.
Admiring well a graceful art
Of natures hand in every part,
Full well he knoweth how to prize
This fair terrestrial paradise;
And 'tis his wish sincere and true
That others should enjoy it too.
