According to legend, Glynllifon was first inhabited over a thousand years ago. First noted in 1639, these fascinating wild gardens lay unknown to the outside world for centuries. Glynllifon is one of only three Grade 1 Listed Gardens in the county of Gwynedd. Situated within the 70 acres is a diverse selection of exotic trees and plants, imported and planted over a hundred and fifty years ago. Come to Glynllifon and enjoy a leisurely walk through the gardens and explore the World in eighty trees! Marvel at the hundred-foot Monkey Puzzle tree, Giant Red Cedar tree as well as the Bamboo and Rhododendron collection. Glynllifon is fun for all the family throughout the year.
