[[Dimlands]] (or Dimland Castle or Dimland Lodge) ({{Coord|51.406172|-3.501055|type:landmark}}) is situated about a kilometre back from the clifftops of the Bristol Channel along the road to St. Donats. It was owned at one time by John Whitlock Nicholl Carne of the University of Oxford who moved there after his father's death. Dimlands was built by John Carne's father, Rev. Robert Carne, at the end of the 18th century, upon land left him by his father, Whitlock Nicholl of The Ham, sheriff for the county of Glamorgan in 1746. The property was held by the Nicholl family since the time of [[Henry VII of England|King Henry VII]]. The dwelling is of castellated [[Tudor architecture]] with blue [[wiktionary:lias|lias]] limestone exterior, and Coombedown stone windows and cornices. The south-facing front is more than {{convert|130|ft}} in length. The western coast of Cornwall and Lundy Island are visible from the turrets. The carved chimney in the dining room is made of Caen stone, and the chimney-piece in the drawing room is also. Other features are the Minton tile flooring, the large Tudor-style staircase, two sitting rooms, and the library, a newer addition. The Dimlands stables feature sharp-pointed [[gable]]s, as well as a carved stone with the date of the original grant (1336).<ref name="Burke1853">{{cite book|last=Burke|first=John Bernard |title=A visitation of the seats and arms of the noblemen and gentlemen of Great Britain|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8gYUAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA218|edition=Public domain|year=1853|publisher=Colburn|page=218}}</ref>
