Caerau Gardens

Open from April until October, Gardens and Woodland Playground . Caerau Uchaf has the highest private garden open to the public in North Wales at over 1000 ft. We are Toby and Stephanie Hickish, who started building the gardens from scratch in 1994. They were a sideline to our garden design business and have been added to over the years. The cafe has become a significant part of the whole thing and we aim to produce really good home cooked lunches as well as Stephanie's great cakes. We also sell gifts and plants. Caerau Gardens and Cafe is open from Thursdays to Monday’s incl. from 10.00am until 5.00 pm. Dogs are welcome, we have two of our own who will willingly show you around the gardens. There is plenty of space to explore and quite a few unusual plants. Up in the woodland there is a wooden fort and a zip wire. If the weather is cooler we have a large room with a wood burner where you can enjoy great coffee and lovely food!

Loverly private gardens with glorious views of the surroundings countryside, we booked our visit and enjoyed an amusing time exploring the gardens and looking at the children’s adventure play area, which we knew of grandchildren who would have enjoyed it. There is a cafe onsite that served rally good fair and exceedingly good cakes. A must visit if attractions off the beaten track are for you.

Capel Clay

Reviewed By L4192AUjos

Booked a 2 hour painting session for 3 of us via Facebook. Choose our own pieces to paint from a well stocked range so you make the day as cheap or expense as you like. There are also many painted items around to help you with some inspiration. Owners are extremely welcoming and very helpful and gave loads of hints and tips. We had never done this before and loved it. Even if it's at the end of your stay, you can have your piece(s) posted to you once is been fired. Cannot wait for ours to arrive in the post.

Reviewed By Laura18M - Birmingham, United Kingdom

We visited here in June 2018 and were amazed at the variety of chocolates! There were lots of animal shaped chocolates and we struggled to choose which ones to buy as they all looked so good. They also tasted as good as they looked. The gentleman who was working was chatty and told us about the various products they made. Lovely little shop to visit whilst in Bala.
