This is the best free garden attraction in the country. I am no expert but went to the park as we were passing on the way home to Anglesey. Can't wait to go again. Gardens were free to enter - and they were spectacular. I had my 30 year old daughter with me and 6 yr old grand daughter and... More

Arrived to find the shop was shut and all the craft workshops closed. I couldn't find any staff to ask any questions and then spotted a gardener having a crafty ciggy, who pointed us in the direction of the gardens. Which were quite dissapointing the fountain had green slime hanging from each level, although the amphitheatre was quiant. We met... More

A peaceful place part wild, part managed. The Folly's are unique and the open air theatre is spectacular, catch a play if you can. There is something very special about watching a play in an outdoor theatre designed like an ampitheatre with the sounds of birds singing and the stream that flows through it bubbling, bliss. The bat walk is... More

This is a lovely setting with brilliant walks. When we visited we were in there about 4 hours walking. The downside was we couldn't find any bins so had to carry our rubbish with us even though we ate at the picnic area. More

We stayed at the above in the grounds of Glynllifon County Park in August 2011. The rental was booked through Sykes Cottages and was a huge disappointment and nothing like the photos on the site. The property was dirty with insufficient bedding, towels and kitchen equipment for a party of 6 adults and 2 children and a baby. The towels... More

Picked up a leaflet while on holiday for somewhere we had not been before. After paying the low admittance charge we expected to be in and out of the attration in the hour. The park is run by the local council and not as commercialised as some other attractions. The children got the site map and trail to find the... More

It cost £4 to get in but the walks are lovely. There was a enchanting picnic area. Otherwise the features that were on the map, like the fountain that was covered in green slime and the cave that turned out to be locked were disappointing. The hermitage is graffitied and you can't go in. I think a bit more effort... More
