Champion trees at Bodnant Garden
Champion trees at Bodnant Garden
Several of the trees here are exotic species, which have grown to great heights in the Dell, and labelled as "champion" trees.
Bodnant Garden

One of the National Trust's most popular properties in Wales, Bodnant is unusual in that the main house is not open to the public. What attracts visitors is the garden* which comprises formal plantings, classical vistas, a picturesque valley with a disused water mill, water features, an arboretum and miles of woodland and meadow paths. The garden was established in 1874 by Henry Pochin and given to the National Trust in 1949.

* although often called "Bodnant Gardens", an acquaintance who worked there assures me it should always be referred to in the singular.
