Great Gardens

Pond and rockeries at DewstowFrom information and photographs supplied by John Harris

A lost garden has been discovered in South Wales and after six years of painstaking excavation and renovation has been opened to the public. What is unusual about this particular garden is that much of it is underground. Tunnels and underground grottoes were buried under thousands of tons of soil for over 50 years. Built around 1895 the gardens were buried just after World War II and rediscovered in 2000 by the present owner John Harris and his family.
