Llanover is set in the Usk Valley beneath the Black Mountains in Monmouthshire, South Wales. The 18-acre Grade II listed garden, set within a beautiful park, features a walled Round Garden, two Arboreta and extensive herbaceous borders and lawns. The Rhyd-y-Meirch (Ford of the Stallions) stream flows the entire length of the garden, tumbling into ponds, over cascades and beneath flagstone bridges.
Llanover Garden was established in the late 18th century by Benjamin Waddington, the great-great-great-great grandfather of the present owner, Elizabeth Murray. Visitors can admire the magnificent London Plane trees planted over 200 years ago, and the unusual trees and shrubs planted between 1960 and 1999 by Elizabeth’s father Robin Herbert CBE VMH, a former President of the Royal Horticultural Society.
