BODNANT GARDENS - Tal-y-Cafn
Conwy
LL28 5RE.
Bodnant Gardens are a world famous National Trust gardens in North Wales. There are a range of stlyes, formal borders, terraces and pools, as well as less formal woodland dells, rock gardens and a steam with ponds. Bodnant is especially known for its large collection of azaleas and rhododendrons which usually peak around late April/May. There are lots of opportunities for wider views, macro I.C.M and M.E. There is also a cafe, shop and small artisan workshops. Please see their website for prices. It is a big gardens with varied terrain including lots of steps, you can cover as much distance as you choose. I suggest meeting at the Cafe (before entering the gardens) at 9.15am (arrangements could be made to meet later at a pre-arranged location, as I understand that mobile phone reception is patchy).
