Garden walks in the garden of Wales – Carmarthenshire!

Garden Explorer
There are so many beautiful and magnificent gardens in Carmarthenshire that the county has become known as the 'Garden of Wales'. There are gardens of an historic nature. There are picturesque landscapes and informal gardens. There are woodland gardens with rare and unusual plants. There are formal - design led gardens, all of which will take your breath away in their own individual seasons.

From so many it has been difficult to select particular venues for our 'Wales Garden Explorer' breaks. However, we have chosen two gardens on the basis of their general interest and overall quality that will, we hope, appeal to devoted gardeners who will find information, ideas and inspiration, as well as those who will enjoy their garden visit as a memorable and rewarding experience. Included in all the Glynhir breaks is free access to our grounds, parkland and gardens which includes the walled garden, woodlands, the sweet chestnut Waterloo walk, the babbling river with it's pools, cascades and 30' waterfall.

The National Botanic Gardens of Wales
Located in the magnificent 18th Century parkland of the former Middleton Hall the National Botanic Gardens of Wales is situated within a 568 acre estate enjoying spectacular views over the surrounding Tywi Valley. The gardens centrepiece is The Great Glasshouse - the worlds largest single span greenhouse - with plants and species from Mediterranean areas of the world set in rock faces, ravines, streams and waterfalls. Within the estate there are lakes, welsh woodland and the largest broadwalk in Europe.

Aberglasney
'A garden lost in time'. The story of Aberglasney spans many centuries, but its rescue from dereliction in the past few years is an episode more dramatic than any in its past. Aberglasney's origins remain obscure, but they may lie in the fair court owned by Rhydderch ap Rhys and praised by the bard Glyn Cothi in the 1470's as being encompassed by 'nine green gardens' - orchards, vines and young oaks. It is one of the oldest descriptions of any house and its gardens in Wales.

The parapet walk is a rare example of o 16th/17th century garden feature. The grounds include a yew tunnel, lake and three other walled gardens with rare and unusual plants. Aberglasney has become one of the Country's most exciting garden restoration projects and is destined to become one of the most fascinating gardens in the UK.
