emphasises the motto of the house "Hardd Hafan
Hedd", a beautiful haven of peace.

One of the finest views from a Country House in Wales. Uninterrupted
vistas from the mountains to the sea; forever changing
with the ebb and flow of the River Conwy. |
Facing west, at the end of the day we enjoy glorious dramatic
sunsets. Overlooking the Conwy RSPB bird reserve, the calls
of the feeding estuary birds are a delight.

For those of the gardening fraternity who
have not visited North Wales or considered its virtues as
a potential for a holiday for a long weekend it might be
worth note of the number of places of interest to the plantsman
in the area. Bodnant Gardens and Portmerion never fail to
impress visitors, and apart from the nursery attached to
Bodnant Gardens and a number of general nurseries and garden
centres, there are now three specialist nurseries offering
plants impossible or hard to find elsewhere These are Aberconwy
Nursery (alpines and rhododendrons), Crug Farm Plants (unusual
perennials for shade) and now, of course, Rickards Hardy
Ferns. It's worth thinking about.
