Clyne Gardens

Clyne Gardens, near Swansea

These 19th century landscaped Clyne Gardens of 50 acres were created by the Vivian family who sponsored plant expeditions overseas.

Clyne Gardens, perhaps better described as a Park contains probably the finest collection of rhododendrons in Wales, including a group of 'Loderi King George' which grow to 16m high. The tallest recorded Magnolia in Britain 'Magnolia campbellii var. alba' can be found here. They were created as gardens to the historic Clyne Castle now in private ownership.

Paths take you through a wooded valley by the side of a fast running stream with small waterfalls

There is a bog garden, home to giant Elephant Rhubarb and American skunk cabbage.  
The bluebell wood and the wild flower meadow, not to mention the National Collections of Pieris, Enkianthus and Rhododendrons ensure that the gardens are good  all year round.

There are areas planted with herbaceous plants and grasses which add colour to the scene.
