Llanover

Benjamin Waddington, the direct ancestor of the current owners, purchased the house and land in 1792. Subsequently he created a series of ponds, cascades and rills which form the backbone of the 15 acre garden as the stream winds its way from its source in the Black Mountains to the River Usk. There are herbaceous borders, a drive lined with Narcissi, spring bulbs, wildflowers, a water garden, champion trees and two arboreta.

About Llanover

In addition to the numerous herbaceous borders and wildflower areas, the garden features unusual trees and shrubs planted by six generations of the family. The herbaceous borders in the Round Garden, designed by Mary Payne in 2009, are outstanding from July through to October, when they complement the autumn colour of the remarkable Acers, Nyssas, Caryas & Liquidambers planted by Robin Herbert VMH, a past President of the Royal Horticultural Society. Plants of interest throughout the year. Featured in The RHS Garden magazine, Country Living (Nov 2020) ,Landscape magazine ( Sept 2020), Gardenista and Countrylife magazines. Broadcast on Channel 5 series ‘Great British Gardens’ with Carol Klein.

The house (not open) is the birthplace of Augusta Waddington, Lady Llanover, C19 patriot, supporter of the Welsh language and traditions. Delicious home made cakes cooked by fundraisers for Llanover Church.
