The No 1 Modern Wonder of Wales boasts the largest single-span glasshouse in the world and is set in more than 500 acres of fantastic, unspoilt, rolling Welsh countryside.
The Great Glasshouse is home to some of the most endangered plants on the planet from six Mediterranean climate regions – Western Australia, Chile, the Canaries, California, southern Africa, and the Mediterranean basin. There is a unique and historic double-walled garden; lakes, ponds and walks. Additional attractions include a theatre; licensed restaurant; shop; gallery; Japanese garden; bog garden and bee garden; Physicians of Myddfai Exhibition and Apothecaries’ Garden; children’s play area; discovery center and much more.
A stunning new tropical glasshouse designed by the world-renowned John Belle has been built within the double walled garden and will open during early summer 2007.
Many of these areas of interest are under cover and nearly all, easily accessible for wheelchair users.
Whatever your age, there is something for you at the most visited garden in Wales. Whatever time of year it is, the breathtaking views and remarkable sights and smells have to be experienced to be believed.
