The Old Vicarage

Designed by Welsh architect, George Mair, this unusual Victorian vicarage (1867, not open) is set in rolling countryside and is surrounded by a traditional garden. Lovely all year but especially in spring with a variety of trees, shrubs and spring bulbs, a parterre with a charming gazebo, kitchen garden, wildlife areas and ponds make this a garden, always changing, well worth a visit.

About The Old Vicarage

The house, an ‘orange beacon’, is a local landmark in this little-known part of beautiful Monmouthshire. It is surrounded by its garden, with many different areas to explore, from the drive, lined with azaleas, camellias, magnolias and hellebores, to a charming courtyard, gravel garden and gazebo, kitchen garden lined with box hedges, sweeping lawns, and borders punctuated with neatly clipped box features. The wonderful views can be enjoyed from a variety of benches, and there are wildlife areas and a meadow (fourth year).

Easter is early this year, so this is an opportunity to see more of the early spring flowers, such as aconites, snowdrops, cyclamen, narcissi and hellebores. These are usually over by the time most gardens open.
