Gelli Aur
Golden Grove
Welcome | Croeso
The Gelli Aur Estate is a stunning 100-acre wooded parkland surrounding a magnificent mansion house, and with breathtaking views of the Tywi Valley. Once the home of the Vaughan and Cawdor families, 'Golden Grove' (translated from Welsh) offers a range of attractions for visitors to enjoy.
Take a stroll along the nature trails to explore the woodland, parkland and meadows, where you can spot a variety of birds, plants, and butterflies. Don't miss the chance to see native wildlife including birds of prey, deer and an array of interesting and beautiful insects.
The Arboretum is a beautiful collection of mature trees and shrubs, planted in the 1860s by Cawdor's head gardener, William Hill. The collection includes Giant Redwood, and Monterey Pine, among others. In May, visitors can enjoy the stunning display of Rhododendrons and Azaleas at their best.
The Arboretum survey and remediation works are planned, subject to funds and until the work is complete the Arboretum is closed to the public.
