Coach trip to National Botanic Garden of Wales with Ian Jarvis
2025-06-16 08:00 - 17:00
Coach £30, Admission £16 Total £46
This garden comes highly recommended by Sandy, who wishes to remain anonymous. But it sounds truly gorgeous.
If you go to the website (botanicgarden.wales) and click on June, you’ll see how much of a treat we’re in for. The garden will be bursting with butterflies (peacock, red admiral, speckled wood amongst them); all kinds of bees (didn’t know there was a buff-tailed bumblebee, but I love the
sound of it!); yellow rattle, red clover, marsh thistle… just teeming with beautiful, colourful life!
This is both a visitor attraction and a centre for botanical research, hosting the world’s largest single-span greenhouse (360ft x 200ft; huge!) The Great Glasshouse is built on the site of Middleton Hall, once one of the most splendid mansions in South Wales. Its 18th century owner,
Sir William Paxton, didn’t just want an impressive abode: he spent untold thousands on creating an ingenious water park, connected via a series of lakes, ponds, streams, dams, water sluices, bridges and cascades. A disastrous fire in 1931 led to the estate falling into severe decline…
But that was far from the end of the story. In the 1970s, local walkers set up a fund-raising scheme, kickstarting a new life for this wondrous gardenscape. The site now extends to 568 acres (and we expect you to explore each and every one of them), including rare and threatened plants.
There’s a café, shop and garden centre on site.
It’s well worth visiting the website beforehand (again: botanicgarden.wales) to see the maps and
apps that will help you explore.
