We had a great time wandering the gardens and even had sunshine!! The gardens were nice with lots of spring flowers and I imagine it will be spectacular a little later in the season. It was a gat way to spend the morning and we topped it off with a lovely bowl of soup from their cafe.

I visited the gardens at the beginning of May whilst on a singing tour in Wales. We had a lovely day and I really enjoyed the big dome. Whilst we were there we watched a sheep dog demonstration which we weren't expecting and was most enjoyable. There was also a marquee with craft stalls. The courtyard restaurant was very nice...

Visited with another adult and 4 children.

They had a great time. The gardens are great for a leisurely wander.

We visited the National Botanic Garden of Wales last week with our 5 year old granddaughter. It was a bitterly cold day, but we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. She is a very inquisitive little girl, and loves to learn about new things, so seeing all of the plant displays was right up her street. If you have young children who... More

These gardens will be interesting at all times of the year. There is plenty of opportunity for gentle exercise. The indoor 'hot-houses' are very attractive, and, on my first visit, were a wonderful haven in cooler weather. Perhaps cafe and entrance are a little expensive! The site was not over-patronised this time (during Easter Holidays), but the gardens do cover... More
