Sir Clough Williams-Ellis
The architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, is probably best known for his creation of the 'Italianate' village of Portmeirion on the north-west coast of Wales. A fantasy landscape, visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year ...
Less well-known is Sir Clough's ancestral home and garden at Plas Brondanw. Here, long before he embarked on Portmeirion, Sir Clough created one of the finest 'Arts & Crafts' gardens in Britain.
Dyffryn - Vale of Glamorgan
This remarkable 55-acre (22-hectare) Grade I listed Edwardian garden, located in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan, has as its centre a grandiose Grade II listed mansion remodelled in 1893 for coal magnate John Cory, who had purchased the property two years earlier. Cory commissioned eminent landscape architect Thomas Mawson to design a garden around the house and a masterplan was produced in 1903-04, although work did not begin in earnest until 1906. After John Cory’s death in 1910, his son Reginald, who had studied law at Cambridge but found horticulture much more interesting, collaborated with Mawson on the design and over time became a fine horticulturalist and enthusiastic plant collector, sponsoring expeditions for plant hunters such as George Forrest, Ernest Wilson and Harold Coomber.
