Erddig.

 Sitting on a dramatic escarpment above the winding Clywedog river, Erddig tells the 250 year story of a gentry family’s relationship with its servants. A large collection of servants’ portraits and carefully preserved rooms capture their lives in the early 20th century, while upstairs is a treasure trove of fine furniture, textiles and wallpapers.

Outdoors lies a fully restored 18th century garden, with trained fruit trees, exuberant annual herbaceous borders, avenues of pleached limes, formal hedges and a nationally important collection of ivies.

Lime.green Magnolias at Bodnant.

 

The magnolia trees at Bodnant look as beautiful in September as they do when they are in flower. The leaves look spring like their colour is so fresh and bright.

The Kitchen Garden at Bridgewater has really developed since the garden opened.
