Participants will need to sort out their own entrance fee into Bodnant and as the tour party is restricted to 16, it will be members only on a first come first served basis. A waiting list will be set up if required. The cost of the tour will be covered by CBHS. 11.a.m Sunday June 4th 2023 - Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens, Cadnant Road, Menai Bridge, Isle of Anglesey. LL59 5NH “A historic garden under restoration, situated between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey. In 1996, the present owner bought the 200-acre Plas Cadnant Estate and work began on the restoration of the historic garden and grounds. Since then, large parts of the gardens have undergone a spectacular transformation and have been restored to their former glory…. Former owners of Plas Cadnant were related to the Tremayne family of Heligan House, now famous for its Lost Gardens.” A private tour of these gardens has been arranged, the cost of which is covered by the CBHS and, as the party for this event is restricted to 15, so it will again be members only on a first come first served basis, with a waiting list set up if required. Participants will need to sort out their own entrance fee into Plas Cadnant. This will be £8.00 if we get a full complement of 15 and £9.50 if numbers are less. Participants will be advised as to the final cost nearer the date. A “car share” may be possible so please advise if you are able to take passengers or require transport. July and August The Society would like to inform members that there may be possible group outings under the National Garden Scheme for instance, and dependent on numbers, car sharing, mini bus or coach hire may be made.
