Llanerchaeron Garden

About the garden

Nestled in the secluded Aeron Valley, the villa and garden at Llanerchaeron is a beautifully preserved property set within a picturesque landscape of pleasure grounds, walled gardens and a working farm.

The walled gardens, established in the late 18th century, have been producing fruit and vegetables for more than 200 years. Along the south-facing walls are what remains of the Georgian and Victorian glasshouses, complete with fire pits and hypocaust systems. The site also features a rare example of a concrete glasshouse from the 1950s.

Seasonal vegetables, fruit and cut flowers are grown in the garden’s protective environment. A dedicated team of staff and volunteers tend to the plants, pick the fruit and vegetables and prepare them for sale in the Visitor Centre. The site is managed with sustainability in mind, employing traditional horticultural techniques adapted to meet the modern challenges of climate change.
