Bodnant Garden
One of the world's most spectacular gardens, Bodnant is situated above the River Conwy, with stunning views across Snowdonia. Begun in 1875, Bodnant is the creation of four generations of Aberconways and features huge Italianate terraces and formal lawns on its upper level, with a wooded valley, stream and wild garden below.
There are dramatic colours throughout the season, with fine collections of rhododendrons, magnolias and camellias and the spectacular laburnum arch, a 55yd tunnel of golden blooms, from mid-May to early June.
This attraction can be easily visited whilst staying in the Conwy Valley, and is 10 miles (16 km) from Betws-y-Coed as the crow flies (straight line distance). See the routeplanner below for a suggested route and estimated journey time.
