Aberglasney GardensA garden "lost in time", in the process of restoration. The house and garden lay abandonned for over 50 years, falling slowly into ruin. One of the interesting features is a yew tunnel planted in the 18th century. A cloister garden parapet allows you to walk along the top of the walls for views over the garden below. Heritage Rating: Cribyn Cae Hir GardensHillside garden of recent vintage. Separate red, yellow, and blue gardens, bonsai, and a water garden. There is plenty of seating to enjoy the view across the valley. Best in: summer for the full effect of the colour schemes. Heritage Rating: Amroth 
Colby Woodland GardenThe garden surrounds a 19th century country house. Both formal and informal effects are evident, the informal is best seen in the walled garden and the woodland walks through the usual rhododendrons and a variety of unexpected tree species. Best viewed in: April and May. Heritage Rating: Llandeilo 
Dinefwr ParkMedieval deer and cattle park, perhaps landscaped by Capability Brown; restored ice house and Victorian Italianate garden; views.
