The House Garden with its Japanese influence is at its best in the summer, with hundreds of Hostas taking you on a walk around the lawns with small pools through the gardens into the wood and then out with more pools were you can stand on the bridge and enjoy some of the rarer waterfowl.

On the lawn see baby ducklings and geese with their foster mums, enjoy the aviary with small finches, cockatiels, diamond doves and many more, go and say hello to Elsie our European Eagle Owl and you may get a hoot in return...

In the Woodland Gardens keep a look out for our small Parma Wallabies who are resident in the woods.  Take a seat in the Bog Garden and enjoy the colours, sites and smells all around you in such a peaceful place.  Carry on walking and enjoy all different varieties of wildlife, frogs, toads, newts, butterflies, damselflies, mice and much more.  Down on swan lake watch the Ducks and Geese and meet some of the Owls in their Aviaries, you have 18+ acres to stroll around and something new at every turn to see and enjoy.

The gardens at Pen-Y-Ffrith are constantly being developed, one of our most cherished planting is the Hosta family.  The Hosta walk starts in the House Garden and continues to the main Hosta display and onwards along the stream and into the small woodland, the walk then continues out into the House Garden bridge walk, a superb collection of Hostas, the largest to the smallest leaf sizes, the walk is over 100m long and is still being developed and extended.
