Summer of colour

DRINK IN A RIOT OF VIBRANT HUES AS BEAUTIFUL NATIONAL TRUST CYMRU GARDENS BURST INTO LIFE

- 

NATIONAL Trust Cymru care for a remarkable collection of gardens that encompass more than 500 years of Welsh history. With walled gardens, Italianate terraces and herbaceous borders overflowing with colourful displays to rival the brightest of summer days, there's plenty to explore.

NORTH WALES

Bodnant Garden, Conwy

As you enter the garden, hot shades of summer colour greet you in The Range, with flower beds full of fiery reds, ambers and yellows providing interest throughout the year's warmest months. Experience the intoxicating sights, scents and sounds of Bodnant's five formal Italianate terraces and on the hottest of days head to the Dell to seek the shade of the tree lined paths.

Chirk Castle & Garden, Wrexham

Spend a summer's day soaking up the scents and seasonal colours in the 5.5 acre garden at Chirk Castle. Manicured lawns frame views over the Cheshire and Shropshire plains, summer borders around the Hawk House are filled with cistus and fox-tail lilies and dragonflies flit and fly over the shrub garden.
