Dyffryn Gardens
About the garden
A peaceful oasis on the outskirts of Cardiff, Dyffryn offers something new to discover on every visit, from intricate themed garden rooms and sweeping formal lawns to productive kitchen gardens and a large arboretum. The gardens showcase a variety of styles inspired by countries around the world, with a recognisable Italian influence in the Pompeiian Garden and a rainforest-like quality in the Exotics Garden.
With a café, shop and second-hand bookshop, there is a lot to see at Dyffryn. These Grade I-listed gardens are the result of a collaboration between prominent garden designer Thomas Mawson and passionate horticulturist and owner Reginald Cory.
