Bodnant Gardens, Conwy, Wales, UK | View through ancient forest with colorful Kurume azaleas (10 of 15)
Image by ukgardenphotos
Bodnant Gardens, Conwy, Wales, UK: Bodnant is an outstanding historic garden with spectacular views across the Conwy Valley towards the Snowdonia mountain range. Covering a landscape area of 32 hectares (80 acres), it was created and developed by five generations of the same family. The first work began in the 1790’s and some of the trees in the garden are now over 200 years old.
This photo is a view looking upwards from the floor of the valley through ancient forest with mature trees and an under planting of colourful Kurume azaleas.
Details: Famous for its botanical collections, it contains a wooded valley (the Dell Garden) with the awesome colors of massed azaleas and rhododendron blooms in spring. There are a number of delightful streams running into the valley - bordered by hostas, candelabra primulas, ferns and evergreen azaleas. The garden also has large ponds, together with Italianate terraces with plantings of stunning colors. The gardens were acquired by the UK’s National Trust in 1949. They contain a wide range of plants gathered from China, Japan, Europe and North America.
A key feature of the gardens is the world famous, 180 foot (55m) long laburnum arch, through which visitors can walk. This laburnum pergola is an amazing spectacle of pure yellow when in full flower – usually in late May. The laburnum tunnel, which was planted in 1875, attracts large numbers of visitors from across the world.
Links: More details about Bodnant Gardens are available from both the National Trust and the Bodnant Gardens websites.
Location: Bodnant Garden, Tal-y-Cafn, Nr Colwyn Bay, Conwy, LL28 5RE, Wales, UK.
