University owned, well established teaching Botanic gardens maintained with great love and care by staff, students and volunteers. Accessible woodland with many native species, under protection of SSSI designation. Footpaths along the bank of the Menai Straits give views of the water, bridges and Anglesey shores with trails well signposted. Maps and guides available from main building,you'll find toilets and a small selection of locally made items for sale here too. The six glasshouses adjacent to main building hold spectacular special collection of orchids, carnivorous and tropical plants. Look out for sculptures and the ancient Luscombe Oak in the forest. Alpines, rock gardens, pond and much more to see if you explore! Look out for red squirrels and heron. The wollemi pine from Australia is very special too, previously thought extinct until recently and grown from seed at the garden! Many spots for sitting and appreciating the views. No cafe onsite, but lots nearby in Menai Bridge,a short walk away over the bridge - great for views of the Straits, you'll see Church Island which is five minutes walk from the Bridge. Menai has great cafes, delicatessens, pubs, post office with souvenirs,post cards and guide books. The garden is on Welsh Coastal footpath and you can carry on southerly to bird hides in National Trust land. Dogs are welcome, but on leads. Don't miss the amazing abundance of around 200 species of mushrooms growling in Autumn (look out for mushroom day!) or Draig Beats music festival in early Summer! An ideal half or full day activity. Plenty of shelter in woodland when it rains..
