Why it's Wildland
7.2A 568-acre garden in Carmarthenshire countryside, where themed gardens and a national nature reserve sit within a Regency landscape, with Lord Foster’s glasshouse as its striking modern centrepiece.
The appeal is the contrast: a vast countryside setting and historic landscape anchored by an unmistakably contemporary glasshouse. The gardens, lakes and woodland offer more to explore than a single architectural landmark, though check current visitor and ticket information before travelling.
