Aberglasney House, overlooking the Cloister Garden
Aberglasney House and Gardens have a very long history, maybe dating back to the 14th century. The place fell into dire disrepair in the 20th century until it was taken on by the Aberglasney Restoration Trust in 1995.
The friends of Aberglasney have done a tremendous job since then, gradually adding to the areas they have made safe, refurbished and planted. It is now a glorious place, as I hope my pictures show.
