Enjoy historic gardens on Wales holiday

Those thinking of renting a cottage in Wales might like to visit one of the country’s historic gardens.

In a £4.5 million project, a number of parklands will be enhanced and restored in a bid to attract more tourists, Horticulture Week reports.

Pembrokeshire County Council will lead the initiative in a joint venture with local authorities and trusts.

The scheme includes Margam Country Park in Bridgend, where the pleasure gardens will be restored and water features improved, as well as Scolton Manor in Pembrokeshire and Bryngarw Country Park in Bridgend.

Pembrokeshire councillor Rob Lewis said: “This opportunity will allow us to make significant enhancements to historic garden sites across south-west Wales by improving visitor facilities and expanding the historic interpretation of these important gardens.”

People planning a holiday in Wales might like to visit Margam Country Park, which is set in 1,000 acres of parklands and boasts an 18th-century orangery and a Tudor-Gothic-style Victorian mansion house.
