Aberglasney House, 9 Apr 2011
Aberglasney is known as "a garden lost in time". There have been gardens here for hundreds of years. I quote from the guide book: "Five hundred years or so ago, just before Henri Tudur became Henry VII, there were nine green gardens in the area, according to the bard Lewis Glyn Cothi, as well as orchards, vines and oaks; their owner was commended for his husbandry....The property was not known as Aberglasney until the mid-1600s, when the house was built by Bishop Rudd".
In 1995, the house was completely derelict and the gardens covered in weeds. The Aberglasney Restoration Trust has done wonderful work in restoring both house and gardens. In the summer there are concerts held in the gardens.
