The National Botanic Gardens of Wales set in the beautiful River Tywi valley, is both a visitor centre and a centre for research and conservation. The collection of thousands of plants varieties are spread over 500 acres of Welsh countryside. You can admire the themed gardens, the world’s largest single-span glasshouse, the plant collections, a tropical Butterfly House, nature reserve and the British Bird of Prey Centre. The Garden’s centrepiece is the Great Glasshouse designed by world-famous architects Norman Foster and Partners. Inside the amazing tilted glass dome is a Mediterranean landscape dominated by a six-metre deep ravine. Rock terraces and sheer faces are cut by streams and waterfalls. A lake provides a humid habitat at the foot of the chasm. A place of international significance dedicated to conservation, horticulture, science, education, leisure and the arts. As a landmark Millennium project, the Garden of Wales links the history of the last millennium with the present.
