-Did you know that Wales -has hundreds of registered gardens? | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
-Big or small, formal or wild. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
-Every garden delights the visitors -that arrive every year. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:13 | |
-I'll visit some to show you the -wealth that is on our own doorstep. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:18 | |
-Yes, it's the golden age -of the garden. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
-Welcome to Gerddi Cymru. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
-The glorious valley -of the River Wye. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
-This rural area -is steeped in history... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
-..and home to Tintern Abbey... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
-..that has stood in South-East Wales -since the twelfth century. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:49 | |
-A stone's throw from Tintern... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
-..nestled on the edge of a forest -of pine trees... | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
-..is a very unique garden. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
-Veddw House has one of the smallest -and most unusual of gardens... | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
-..that we've ever visited. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
-It's in an agricultural valley -in Monmouthshire's rolling hills... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
-..and next to a traditional -Welsh cottage. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-There's nothing traditional about -the two acres that surround it. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
-Visitors are left awestruck... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
-..because it's modern -and unlike anything you'd expect. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
-This garden was designed -in the late 20th century. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-Gardens often follow -a specific style or fashion... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
-..but in this case, the owners -have created their own rules. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
-Due to the location -of the cottage... | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-..most gardeners would have made -a series of terraces... | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-..with a different feature -on each level. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-But the owners have gone -for something completely different. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-The main feature of the garden -is its hedges. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
-We've already seen that hedging -gives a garden its form and shape... | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
-..but it can also make a garden -look more than what it actually is. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
-At Veddw House Garden... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
-..it has the added element -of creating intentional confusion! | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
-I'll discuss all that -Veddw House Garden has to offer... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
-..with the artist, Nia Wyn Jones. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
-There's a real artistic flair -to this garden. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
-The feeling that I get -when I see this garden... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
-..is that it wasn't created -by traditional gardeners. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
-It's like the work of a sculptor. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-You could argue -that it's like growing art! | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-I admire any artist who devotes time -to working with the world of nature. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
-I think it's quite challenging. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-There's a variety -of textures, colours and styles. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
-Some elements are very geometric, -solid and specific... | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
-..whilst others are organic, -free and Bohemian. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
-It's also quite playful. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
-There's a large pool -in front of us... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-..that gives a reflection -of what's on the other side. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
-Yes, and there's black dye in the -water to help create the reflection. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
-It adds depth to the reflection. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
-Yes, and it's like tar. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
-Yes, and it's like tar. - -Yes, it is. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
-It's a strange and weird experience. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
-You expect to see fish -but it's just a reflection. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-It's almost like a mirror. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
-It's almost like a mirror. - -It's perfect. A perfect mirror. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-The husband and wife team -of Anne and Charles, own the garden. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
-Anne is a garden writer... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
-..and Charles is a social worker -and garden photographer. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
-People often come to us and say... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
-.."I love your garden. -We don't like formal gardens." | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
-They don't realize -that this is a formal garden. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
-I really like lines. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
-I like my lines to be straight... | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-..and my topiary to be tidy -and consistent. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
-It's a Sissinghurst model... | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
-..which is formal hedging -to frame wild, chaotic planting. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-We're not overly focussed -on the plants. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
-The plants are there -to create pictures. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
-As a photographer, I take pictures -of individual plants. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-This is like an outdoor studio. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-But we've also created views -which are very bold. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-This garden deals with pattern, -colour, shape, drama and structure. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:36 | |
-But it also deals with history... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
-..not just the local history... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-..but the history of its inhabitants -over the years. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
-It's so much more than just plants! | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
-If you take a bird's-eye view -of these hedges... | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-..you'll notice that their outline -mimics a tithe map of the area. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
-It reflects the pattern -of the fields in the 19th century. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-We should applaud Anne and Charles -for their efforts. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
-There's also some ruins. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
-That was a one-night-house or Ty -Unnos which is steeped in history. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-In the far corner... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-..there's a collection -of agricultural and domestic items. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
-It's almost like a museum. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-You get this feeling -of walking through history. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
-Yes, you do. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
-It's interesting to see an array -of words in every nook and cranny. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:42 | |
-They are on stones, -the backs of benches and gates. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-Each word sings the praises of -the area that surrounds the garden. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:52 | |
-They look like gravestones... | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
-..but they refer lost local names. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-This garden is close -to the Wales-England border... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
-..so you will notice changes to the -names of the rivers and garden... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
-..to suit each period. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
-The names of the owners -are also found on a stone. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
-I doubt Charles and Anne -feel like they own this land... | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
-..but merely watch over it -for a specific time. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-They don't see it as a possession -and I admire them for that. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
-The front garden has -a wild and romantic flavour to it. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
-It's a stark contrast... | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
-..to the formality of the hedges -in the back garden. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
-This is a glorious meadow of flowers -- nothing more, nothing less. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
-It's another experience -that this garden has to offer. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
-It's perfect for contemplation. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
-It's proof you don't have -to work too hard when gardening. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Some things just happen. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
-It has always been like this. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:16 | |
-As a photographer... | 0:08:28 | 0:08:29 | |
-..I'm there to flatter a garden -to make it look its best. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-But as a gardener... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
-..I do feel critical -when gardens are over-planted... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
-..or over-sculptured... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-..or lacking in impact. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
-I come back and often think -that we've got something right. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
-We have a wow factor that I still -enjoy when I walk around our garden. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
-Veddw is obviously a garden -or we wouldn't be filming it... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
-..but it's a collection -of experiences. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
-I'm sitting under a canopy and feel -like Moses parting the Rea Sea... | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
-..or I could be waiting for a bus -in a shelter. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
-The difference is that you wouldn't -mind if the bus didn't turn up! | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
-What are your thoughts -about this garden, Nia? | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
-I think this garden reflects the -personalities of Anne and Charles. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
-He likes to remain true -to the bounds of order. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
-He's geometric in his nature. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
-She's a free spirit -and more Bohemian. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-It's a lovely marriage -and is reflected in this garden. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
-Yes, definitely. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
-There's contrasting forms. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-You have order with neat circles -and trimmed hedges... | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
-..coupled with thistles -that are shooting out of everywhere! | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
-I really liked the message -that's on the gate as you arrive. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-"If weeds offend you... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-"..we tend to embrace nature -rather than try and conquer it!" | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-There you have it. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-It's a lesson for us all. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-Cherish your weeds! | 0:10:21 | 0:10:22 | |
-I do that in my garden. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
-Veddw is a garden of many layers. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-A modern gem on the Wales-England -border that should be investigated. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
-The owner said it himself. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
-He steps through the gate -every night... | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-..sees the garden and thinks "Wow!" | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-I'm sure you'll have a similar -reaction when you come here. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |

-The main attractions in the county -of Conwy include the castle... | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
-..and the Victorian seaside town -of Llandudno... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
-..that houses -the longest pier in Wales. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
-The town has many hotels. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-One hotel in the trees offers -more than just bed and breakfast. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-The majority of people come here -for some five-star luxury. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
-Bodysgallen Hall is famous for it. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
-There's bedrooms full of interesting -features, a spa and sauna. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
-It's all here! | 0:12:17 | 0:12:18 | |
-But there's one feature -outside the main hall... | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-..that attracts visitors -year after year. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
-And here it is. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-The gardens at Bodysgallen Hall -sit in 200 acres of parkland. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
-They are a beautiful combination of -historic formality and wooded areas. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:47 | |
-At first, it looks like -a very green garden... | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
-..but there are explosions -of colour in every corner. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
-From this viewpoint, you can see -the use of the architecture. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
-They used the features -that were on the site... | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
-..but they also created -the steps to the various terraces... | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |
-..to plant the formal, -structural hedges. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-This is what gives -the garden its form. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
-Yes, you have the stonework, but -the planting is architectural too. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
-From this point... | 0:13:32 | 0:13:33 | |
-..you can see to the edge of the -garden and even to Conwy Castle. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
-This is the reason for the presence -of Bodysgallen Hall. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-It is now a hotel... | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-..but the Hall's original tower -dates back to the 13th century. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
-It was built as a watch tower -for Conwy Castle. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
-Over the centuries, -the Hall was a luxurious home. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
-There's no romance -in bricks and mortar... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
-..but Bodysgallen Hall united two -influential families in North Wales. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:10 | |
-They were the Mostyns and the Wynns. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
-They lived here together until 1969. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-The Mostyns and Wynns -were very successful landowners... | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
-..who were also related -to Welsh royalty. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
-Catrin Wager specializes -in the elite families of Wales. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
-She knows everything you need -to know about the Mostyns and Wynns. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
-Bodysgallen Hall shows us -the importance of marriage... | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-..to the noble families of Wales -and Britain over the centuries. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
-This Hall changed hands from the -Mostyns to the Wynns and back again. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
-These marriages -strengthened the estates. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-Partnerships were made -and wealth passed back and forth. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
-We know more about the Hall's -history following the marriage... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
-..of Margaret Mostyn -to Hugh Wynn from Berth Ddu. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:09 | |
-The Wynn family of Berth Ddu is -related to the Wynns of Gwydir... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
-..one of the most important families -in North Wales in the 16th century. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:19 | |
-It was the first time for the family -to use it as their main home. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
-It marked the start of the major -investment in the house and gardens. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
-We know the date for each extension -thanks to the numerous datestones. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:35 | |
-It's difficult -to find the original structure. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-But this is the oldest section -of the original garden... | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-..that is still standing today. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
-The florist, Sioned Edwards... | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
-..is very familiar -with this historic garden... | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-..because she uses it -for floristry demonstrations. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-Well... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
-This is a real treasure trove. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
-Well, well, well, well. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
-Is this what they mean -when they refer to a knot garden? | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-Yes, and it looks just like a knot. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
-This is a parterre. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
-It's a design -that is typically Dutch or French. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
-This is one of the original parts -of the garden. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
-It was designed by Robert Wynn -in 1678. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-There was a sundial in the centre -with the date inscribed on it... | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-..but that's long gone! | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
-The shapes are totally symmetric. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
-There's narrow paths with stones -or sand between the plants. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
-It reminds me of a tapestry. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
-Yes, it does and it could have been -designed as picture. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
-It's interesting to point out... | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
-..that you can't see the pattern -when you're standing in front of it. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
-But there is a path -that follows the wall... | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-..and from that point -or the house... | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
-..you look down on it -and can see the complicated pattern. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-The colours in each section -are beautiful. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
-I think that's sage. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
-There's a curry plant, -fennel, rosemary... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
-..and the lavender -gives an incredible aroma. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-Each one is a bit different. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-We can see the new growth. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-It's such a strong shade of green -and stands out against the herbs. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
-It's worth coming here -just to see this. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
-And get lost in the narrow paths. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
-Every section of the garden -varies in style. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
-The Arts and Crafts garden -is full of romantic architecture. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
-There's a large area that's reserved -for growing fruit and vegetables. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
-You can escape the formality -by venturing into its forest. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
-This tranquil terrace -in the far corner of the garden... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
-..was designed for admiring -Snowdonia in all its glory. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:27 | |
-Many things have changed -as the trees have grown... | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
-..and the housing estates -have done nothing for the view! | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
-The sound of the traffic -from the A470 underneath us... | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-..does nothing for the atmosphere. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
-The contribution of both families -to North Wales was immense. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:50 | |
-Wales would not have been -the same place without them. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-Llandudno -is a Victorian seaside town... | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
-..that has been a popular resort -for over 150 years. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
-The Llandudno we know today would -be here if not for the Mostyns. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
-They had the vision -of developing the town... | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-..and that was between -1848 and 1859. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-This was a period when people -started taking holidays. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-Transport was improving -and you had day-trippers. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-The late 1800s -saw the start of the railways. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
-It wasn't a new idea. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
-Many noble families built resorts -and especially in Southern England. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
-The Mostyns developed Llandudno -and it was a very expensive project. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:44 | |
-They had debts mounting to 750,000 -by the end of the century. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-As a result of the debt... | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
-..the futures of Bodysgallen -and Llandudno were in the balance. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
-Thankfully, one member of the family -had a head for business. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
-Her name was Lady Augusta Mostyn. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
-Due her skills in developing -the estate and the area... | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
-..Llandudno was saved. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
-It was a sensible investment for -the future of the Mostyn family. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:17 | |
-It's thanks to her that they remain -an important family to this day. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:23 | |
-Mam-gu would never have a holiday -if it wasn't for her! | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
-Lady Augusta's legacy -continues to this day in the garden. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
-I don't think I've ever seen -such well-groomed peonies. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
-They are incredible. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:48 | |
-It's great to see this collection -and each one is different. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:53 | |
-Their perfume is beautiful. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
-There was a lot more at one time. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-Yes, and this garden is based on -the vision of Lady Augusta Mostyn. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
-She wanted a garden full of feminine -pink, purple and blue tones. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:09 | |
-After the war, they had less workers -so had to close this area. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:15 | |
-The recreation of the style that -would have been here is more recent. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
-However, it's much simpler -and includes a croquet lawn. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:26 | |
-You get more pleasure from croquet -than from peonies! | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
-One of my favourite things is that -you find something different... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
-..around every corner. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
-There's something different to see -wherever you look. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-You can see so much of the garden -from here. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-There's the pond in the distance, -the knot garden... | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
-..the forest with its trails -that lead to Bryn Pydew... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
-..and there's a rose garden -directly in front of us. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
-It's believed -that Lady Augusta Mostyn... | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-..gave the rose garden to her son as -a wedding gift when he moved here. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
-It was an orchard but the -rose garden is more attractive. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
-Yes, but you can't eat roses! | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
-Yes, but you can't eat roses! - -No, that's true. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
-There's apple trees -in kitchen garden. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
-That's an ancient part -of the garden too. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
-It's always been important -to the house... | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
-..for the residents -or the hotel guests. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
-This is a glorious garden... | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
-..that reflects the history of two -important families of North Wales. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:44 | |
-It's a tribute to their presence -in the area. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
-I said that this is a public garden -but it isn't that public... | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
-..as you need to be a guest -in the hotel to enjoy it... | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
-..or come here for afternoon tea. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
-After eight scones, I'll need to jog -around the garden to work them off! | 0:23:01 | 0:23:06 | |
-It's a tough job -but I'm the man to do it! | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
