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.
2. Bwlch y Geuffordd Gardens
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 28 reviews
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.

Walk among free-flying butterflies in a luxuriant tropical display. Hundreds of butterflies as well as giant caterpillars, beetles and leaf insects. Outside there is a well-established native butterfly garden. Free guided tours are available. Run by biologists.

Sad to read some negative reviews here saying it’s overpriced and too small. When you read the information within the butterfly house about the extensive and fascinating work which the team have put into developing the necessary habitats for these butterflies, which only live for days, it’s incredible to appreciate the decades of work that has gone into the butterfly house. There were many beautiful butterflies, and just as interesting were the huge range of exotic plants cultivated to create just the right environment for them. If you take it at face value it’s a poly tunnel with some butterflies and I guess you could wizz through in 5 minutes, but we spent the best part of an hour finding out about the different butterflies, their habitats and all the conservation work behind the scenes. When you understand how much work and expense goes into keeping this project alive, we were perfectly happy with the entrance fee and would highly recommend.

You can go for a nice relaxing stroll along the promenade right up the castle and war memorial. If you walk on the beach then it is best to wear sandals or flipflops. The beach and surrounding area is clean, well maintained and family friendly
