Dyffryn Fernant Garden
Under the Pembrokeshire Preseli uplands, rich in pre-history, in an area of historically small and isolated farms lies six acres of Dyffryn Fernant Garden.
Beautifully conceived small gardens brimming with rich, contemporary planting surround a glowing raspberry-fool coloured house, while a bog garden subtly gives way to a wetland-valley floor.
Aberglasney
Aberglasney was made famous by the BBC television series “A Garden Lost in Time” which followed its restoration. Today it is quite simply one of Wales’ finest gardens, and at its heart lies a fully restored Elizabethan Cloister Garden that is the only surviving example of its kind in the UK today. Beyond this, visitors can explore 10 acres of over 20 different garden styles from formal to woodland, right through to exotic and modern along with the fully restored ground floor of Aberglasney’s grade II* listed mansion offer a stunning venue for exhibitions and events.
Llanerchaeron
An elegant Georgian villa, designed by architect John Nash in 1790, complete with a walled garden, farmyard lake and wild parkland. Lovely walking. Remarkably unaltered for over 200 years.
Penlan Uchaf Gardens and Tea Rooms
Approximately three acres of landscaped gardens are set around a working farm. Renowned for their breath-taking views over the Preseli Hills and riot of Spring bulbs, the garden also boasts alpine beds, herbaceous borders, flowering shrubs and conifers.
