Brynhyfryd’s mature gardens are both unique and spectacular, extending to about 2 acres on a south facing slope.  A large and colourful collections of azaleas, rhododendrons and other exotic trees take their place among the slate terraces, lawns and herbaceous borders linked by curving stone stairs; a breathtaking display in the springtime.  The slate terrace in front of the house is a relaxing suntrap with a view over the lower terraces, the lawn and the distant hilltops.

 

To the east side of the house, the “morning terrace” leads to the herb garden, through an attractive beech arch.  To the west there is a small orchard, a covered log store and the natural spring runs along water channels cascading  into the pond, from which ornamental walkways lead through the rockery to the wooded slopes above and behind the house.

 

From the top of the garden there are views over Corris village and the Dulas valley in the foreground and Plynlimon in the distance.  Due to its fine and impressive attributes, the garden has been part of the national gardens scheme and has features on the BBC Gardener’s World programme.

 

The private drive with car parking and turning point leads to the large Garage/Workshop, which has electricity and a workbench installed and windows overlooking the grounds.
