The National Botanic Garden of Wales

Set amongst 568 acres of parkland in the Towy Valley, just 7 miles from Carmarthen, the Gardens centrepiece is the Great Glasshouse, an amazing tilted glass dome with a six-metre ravine. The Mediterranean landscape enables the visitor to experience the aftermath of an Australian bush fire, pause in an olive grove or wander through Fuchsia collections from Chile. The Tropical House features orchids, palms and other tropical plants. A 220 metre herbaceous broadwalk forms the spine of the garden and leads to the children's play area and the 360°-surround screen cinema to the Old Stables Courtyard. Land train tours will take the visitor around the necklace of lakes, which surround the central garden.
