Aberglasney is one of the country's most exciting garden restoration projects, and
the gardens are well on the way to becoming one of the leading garden attractions in
the UK. The recovery and restoration are taking place under the aegis of the
Aberglasney Restoration Trust, set up in 1995, and the nine acres contain six different
garden spaces including three walled gardens. At the heart is a unique, fully
restored Elizabethan/Jacobean cloister and parapet walk giving wonderful views over the
site. The gardens have already won many awards from the Wales Tourist Board and
other prestigious bodies. There's a café in the gardens.
As well as the magnificent gardens, the house is also undergoing restoration.
Its history dates back over many centuries and, through scant recorded details, is
thought to have been originally owned by the Lords of Llangathen, before passing into
Tudor hands.
