Author Biography
Aberglasney House and Gardens is a medieval house and gardens set in the Tywi valley in Carmarthenshire, West Wales. The house that currently stands on the site was built between 1710-1720. The gardens feature a stunning Elizabethan promenade garden, the best preserved of its type in all of Great Britain. After many years of neglect and decay, ownership of the house was transferred to the Aberglasney Restoration Trust in 1995. The restoration was party funded by Francis Cabot, an American gardener and horticulturist, and his wife Anne. Today the house and its 10 acres of gardens are open to the public.
