Aberglasney House and gardens has been owned by the Aberglasney Restoration Trust since 1995 and has undergone much work and restoration since that time. It was the subject of a television series ' A Garden Lost in Time' which documented the restoration of the garden.
There are various gardens within the site. The mansion house overlooks the Cloister Garden.
There are also walled gardens.
Doors in the walls give sneak peeks of what's outside.
Outside the tea rooms is the Pool Garden.
The Sunken Garden contained a pool with a silver coloured orb in the middle. The pool gave the illusion of the water being jet black.
In 2005 a new garden was created within the ruined parts of the courtyard of the mansion. The remaining walls were stabilised and covered with a huge glass roof. The new garden now contains Orchids (sadly none were in flower today), Palms and other hot climate plants.
All in all it was a really good afternoon visit made all the better by the lovely weather.
Before driving the Aberglasney we had drive to Pembrey Country Park again, to play crazy golf and to ride the Cobra Toboggan Ride.
