I hope to goodness it's still open in January as I would like to go
again. I find gardens in winter very illuminating, after all, most are
lovely in summer. And the basic design of this one is haunting - I
would love the rill, for instance!

I have a friend in Swansea who has never been there and wants to, but
they don't have a car and there is NO public transport to the site! So
I'd like to have the chance to take her.

Can you believe that? They set up something like this and the local
councils don't connect it to the rail network etc?
