Thanks for pointing this place out, Dave - it looks amazing. I was going on a tour of French gardens in September but may well go to Wales instead now. Other than Dewston and Portmerion, can anyone suggest other "must - see " Welsh gardens ? Thanks.

Bodnant is a hefty day's walking so be prepared.

The National Bot Gardens at Middleton, near Carmarthen, are a delight.
The Norman Foster glasshouse is worth a visit in its own right.

Plus fine uncrowded beaches, superb fishing, castles galore, if you
want to stay in the area; or a fine stopover on the way to and from
Ireland.

Aslo only a couple of miles from the Botanic gardens is Aberglasney House.
This is a garden that has been "re-discovered" and the work has been carried
out in excellent fashion.

Powis Castle. (Depending on how badly it's been hit by the last two hard
winters; it had a lot of tender plants on south facing terraces.)

Yes indeed, Powis Cstle is certainly worth a visit - again I hope you're
fit. The terrace mentioned is formdable if you decide to descend to the
bottom . I don't wish to worry folk by mentioning the physical demands of
Powis Castle and Bodnant, but it is something to remember if any one going
there has fitness issues.

Yes Dave, our Gardenng Club viisted visited the gardens last year. Well
worth going there and its history is very interesting.

Contact me by e-mail if you like and I'll send you a CD of photos I took
there put together in a slide show presentation.
