Bodnant Garden

Stunning Landscaping and Contrasting Mountainous Backdrop Stroll through the glorious Bodnant Garden and enjoy the stunning views across Snowdonia National Park. The botanical gardens, whose construction began in 1875, are the creation of four generations of the Aberconway family. They feature large Italianate terraces and formal lawns on the upper level, with a wooded valley, stream and wild garden below. You can see dramatic colors throughout the seasons, with herbaceous borders, roses, hydrangeas, water lilies and clematis offering a delicious display throughout the summer.

Manicured lawns, grand terraces and verdant woodland provide the perfect retreat, with the stunning backdrop of the Carneddau Mountains of Snowdonia. After your visit, return to your ship via the Britannia Bridge with sweeping views over the Menai Strait. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
