National Botanic Garden of Wales
"Franz Heymann" wrote in message ... Eden has had a much more vigorous PR campaign And lots of free publicity during construction... Eden is very close to a very popular holiday area. The National Botanic Gardens (now called "Middleton") are just a short drive from the Gower. They are a short trip from Pembrey Country Park and less than an hour from Tenby or any of the Pembrokeshire holiday spots. The stupid thing is that very few people realise what they are missing in South Wales. On the other side of the Bristol Channel the Grockles are falling over each other on the Devon & Cornwall beaches. On August Bank Holiday I took an eight-mile walk along a pristine sandy beach (from Burry Porth through to Cefn Sidan and Pembrey). There was no-one on the beach at Burry, I met a few dog walkers on Cefn Sidan. Pembrey had about five hundred bunched together on half a mile of sand. The rest was deserted! Eden is very close to a very popular holiday area. It used to be popular with me too - but I now find it overcrowded, overpriced and over-touristified (?) to the point of tackiness. The Beacons, Pembrokeshire and the Gower have the climate, the scenery and the beaches - but not the Grockles and the Tat. (Ducks swiftly and waits for the incoming flak....) |
