What a find this turned out to be. Did two of the three walks & then explored the churchyard adjacent to the car park. It was a pity the church was locked. Particularly enjoyed the waterfall & the Chain Bridge & would love a week’s stay in Pwll Pendre.

We visited the garden in the summer and we had a very enjoyable visit. Its different and unexpected and delightful. We sat in the garden and sketched for a while had a picnic, enjoyed the delicious cakes and stayed for morning coffee and afternoon tea. Definitely worth a visit.
3. Bwlch y Geuffordd Gardens

Bwlch y Geuffordd Gardens in Bronant is an ideal place to visit . Featured in the last series of “Pobl a’u Gerddi”, and also featured in ITV's Love Your Garden with Alan Titchmarsh, aired March 2020. Joint runner up of Gardeners World “Garden of the Year” competition, category “Challenging Plot”. There is something here for everyone. The garden is open daily, and is an adventure and fantasy garden for children (and adults). It is also a water garden, sculpture park, sumptuous flower garden, and so much more. Although the individual gardens differ widely in character, they still hang together as a delicious whole. It is peaceful, inspiring and colourful, wacky and wonderful, full of surprises, and a great day out for all the family.

An elegant Georgian villa, set in the wooded Aeron valley. Remarkably unaltered for over 200 years, this self-sufficient estate includes a farm, walled gardens and lake.

Saturday 7th September 2019. Family of 5 (ages 21 to 64). We walked here from Aberaeron - starting at a car park near the Leisure Centre. It's a nice flat walk. The house is a small manor house set in lovely grounds with a pleasant flat walk around the nearby lake. The house itself is fascinating to walk around (by yourself) with National Trust staff strategically placed to answer questions and impart loads of interesting information on the house. It's also of a size where you can do it justice rather than race from room to room. Highly recommended for a visit. We spent about 2 hours there (including the stroll around the lake). Contis cafe, on the site, serves a decent home cooked lunch too.
5. Cae Hir Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 81 reviews
'A Welsh garden with a Dutch history', Cae Hir is the extraordinary creation of Dutchman Wil Akkermans, whose family history in Dutch horticulture stretches back over 200 years. Covering 6 acres of Welsh hillside, this RHS Partner Garden unites a meandering stream and water garden, species rose garden, bonsai collection, local slate stonework and innovative formal features into one informal and unpredictable whole.
6. Pantyfod Garden
Spectacular, well established gardens situated high above the Teifi valley commanding awe inspiring views towards Tregaron, Cors Caron and Snowdonia beyond. A wildlife haven of three and a half acres with a wide variety of habitat planted with rare and unusual hardy perennials, shrubs and trees. Ponds, bog gardens, tropical beds, woodland shade and sunny banks.
