Magnificent Edwardian gardens flowing from grand vistas to intimate spaces overlooked by a large mansion
From our new play area in the arboretum to seeing fruit laden trees and fat juicy vegetables being grown in the kitchen gardens there's lots of see this summer.
Dyffryn Gardens are an exceptional example of Edwardian garden design. Covering more than 55 acres they feature a stunning collection of intimate garden rooms including a rose garden, Pompeian garden and several ponds.
The enormous great lawn is bordered by seasonal bedding and a croquet lawn. There is also a large glasshouse, statuary collection, and arboretum featuring trees from all over the world. Our arboretum also houses The Log Stack play area which is great for kids and adults alike.
Designed by eminent landscape architect Thomas Mawson in 1906, the gardens are the early 20th-century vision of coal magnate John Cory and his son Reginald.
Within the gardens, Dyffryn House, a grand Victorian mansion overlooks the key aspects of the gardens. Parts of the ground and first floors have been restored and are unfurnished.
