    An interesting and encouraging article is in the Spring 2012 National Trust magazine about this place.

    I arrived at Dyffryn on a whim.

    I knew nothing about it accept as it was in the HHA scheme it would cost me nothing.

    And you know what? I loved it. I big fan of Victorian/Edwardian garden design. They have an intimacy that the likes of Capability Brown ignored and that modern gardeners seem to sneer at. Dyffryn is a garden which feels like the room of a house moved outdoors.

    I believe it is owned by the council and parts are under repair. When done it will earn 5 from me.
