Spanning 80 acres, this celebrated garden blends grand design with wild charm, making it one of the UK’s most enchanting horticultural destinations. Founded in the late 19th century, Bodnant has become famous for its rich botanical collections, serene woodland glades, and sweeping terraces. Its most iconic feature—the golden Laburnum Arch—blooms in late spring, creating a breathtaking floral tunnel that captures the imagination of all who pass beneath it. Throughout the year, visitors are treated to an ever-changing display: delicate magnolias and rhododendrons in spring, lush borders and roses in summer, blazing foliage in autumn, and structural beauty in winter’s quiet. With every step, the garden invites moments of peace, discovery, and admiration for the artistry of nature.
