Designer: Miss G. Jones
Description of Garden:
Spectacular views of the Menai Straits are the major feature of this garden which suits on the cliff edge directly above the channel. The Carneddi Mountains with peaks of over 3000 feet high lie opposite the garden and provide a stunning backdrop to the garden. With a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, the garden has been skillfully planted for all-year-round interest and colour, with some unusual shrubs. It features a small stream.


History: 
The owner, Miss Jones, bought the land from Glau y Menai, built the house and developed the garden.
