Cae Hir Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Owned and managed by the Akkermans family who moved here from Holland in 1983, Cae Hir consists of 6 acres of meadowland that have been converted into a series of beautiful gardens. With the Blue, Yellow, Red and Gold gardens to visit, as well as the Bonsai and Bog gardens, it’s possible to see many different types of plants here, all used in unusual or highly original ways. Never afraid to push the boundaries of garden design, owner Will Akkermans is now mixing wild flowers with cultivated ones in some parts of the garden and experimenting with agaves, half-hardy trees and shrubs. Also on site is a water-garden fed by natural ponds and a stream. To complete your visit pop in to the garden tea room where you’ll find delicious whole strawberries in the strawberry jam that’s such a vital part of your cream tea.
About the area
The name ‘Ceredigion’ takes a bit of explanation. The town of Cardigan gives its name to the surrounding bay, but the county now uses the Welsh word for Cardiganshire – Ceredigion, pronounced with a ‘dig’.
