Gardens
For gardeners the National Botanic Garden of Wales is nearby. This £45 million Millennium showcase is set in 500 acres and centred on the Great Glass House, the largest single span oval glasshouse in the world, designed by Sir Norman Foster.
This is the first major botanic garden in the UK for over 100 years.
For those who prefer their gardens smaller, Aberglasney Gardens is an oasis of peace and calm. Both are near Carmarthen. .An inspiration to poets since 1477.
Colby Woodland Garden (National Trust) near Amroth and Picton Castle garden in south Pembrokeshire are wonderfully informal gardens to visit.
Llanerchaeron near Aberaeron has two walled gardens and has remained in the same family for ten generations. It has recently been restored, and is virtually unchanged since it was built by Nash in the 18th century.
