The Vaynol had been kept at Vaynol Park as a semi-feral herd since 1872. The herd was moved in 1980 and since 1989 has been primarily residing at Temple Newsam Estate, Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Like the White Park and Chillingham Cattle, the Vaynol is a remnant of the ancient white cattle that once roamed Great Britain.
