Nantclwyd y Dre took part in this year's National Garden Scheme which promotes garden sites open to the public for visiting, showcasing the immaculate herbaceous borders and kitchen garden.

Pride of place was given to the historic Summerhouse in the Lords Garden, once thought to be the kitchen garden of Ruthin Castle, and it featured on the cover of the North East Wales National Garden Scheme brochure.

Hidden around the back of the house, the extensive gardens are described as ‘immaculate, with attractive flower beds, wildflower meadow and fruit and vegetable plots, provide a tranquil space right in the heart of Ruthin’.

The tranquil gardens are maintained by the Heritage Gardener and their team of dedicated volunteers. If anyone is interested in coming along to Monday volunteer sessions please email heritage@denbighshire.gov.uk for more information.

The historic house offers a unique exploration of over 500 years of history, from medieval up to the 20th century and will be open for National Garden Scheme. Nantclwyd y Dre also offers visitors with the opportunity to observe live footage of the house’s special maternity roost of Lesser Horseshoe Bats via a live stream ‘Bat Cam’ from the attic space!

The House and Gardens will be open during the season, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays from 10.30am to last entry at 4pm and for further information on Nantclwyd Y Dre visit our website.
