This Italianate garden was created by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, architect of Portmeirion village. It is divided into 'rooms', each surrounded by its own topiary hedges and having views over Snowdonia and the sea. Portmeirion's home-bred rhododendrons are also on show, as well as the ancient holly oak tree, hydrangeas and ferns.
Opening times:
Daily 9am to 5pm.
Access:
Wheelchair users can gain entrance to the gardens via the main gate, and then follow the path along the top. The path on the other side is accessible, but not all parts of the garden can be accessed from it, only viewed. There aren't disabled toilets, but there is parking right by the main gate. Plans are underway to update the facilities.
Davies A truly remarkable and interesting garden with the local residents awfully shy and coy. Found too many beer cans in the bushes though. Are the gardeners on duty there? Wed Nov 19 09:33:31 2008
Nigel - Kightsbridge These truly are the most spectacular gardens. The architecture is matched only by Clough's other prodigy being the village of Portmeirion. This is truly unique and well worth a visit. Mon Mar 28 10:55:24 2005
Sarah from Shropshire Enchanting, quirky garden set in fantastic mountain landscape and looked over by the tall stone house. Don't forget to walk up the tower (about a quarter of a mile from the garden) - and take in the astonishing panorama, from the mountains of Snowdonia to the sea and 'cobb' at Porthmadog. Best visited early morning/late afternoon for the long shadows the topiary casts on the lawns. This is one of our favourite gardens! Thu Jul 10 22:45:00 2003
