Historic Ruthin gardens are featuring in the National Garden Scheme.

The renowned landmark, Nantclwyd y Dre, will be participating in the National Garden Scheme this year.

This promotion of public gardens will have its grand opening on June 30 from 11am - 4pm.

Simultaneously opening its doors are the gardens at Bron y Gaer, giving visitors access to both properties for the price of one.

The gardens will display their pristine herbaceous borders and kitchen garden.

Visitors will enjoy cream teas served in vintage cups and saucers while browsing the offerings of the plant stall, featuring plants grown on site.

A Garden Pass will be available allowing people to repeat visits to the gardens throughout the season.

The gardens, described as 'immaculate', are at the back of the house.

Their charm, enhanced by the delightful flower beds, wildflower meadow, and fruit and vegetable plots, are tended by the heritage gardener and a team of volunteers.

Those interested in Monday's volunteering sessions can request more information by emailing heritage@denbighshire.gov.uk.

In addition to the tranquil gardens, the historic Nantclwyd y Dre house offers visitors the chance to explore more than 500 years of history.

Visitors can also see live footage of the house’s maternity roost of Lesser Horseshoe Bats via a live-streamed ‘Bat Cam’ from the attic.

Emlyn Jones, Denbighshire County Council's head of planning, public protection and countryside services, said: "We are really pleased that Nantclwyd's historic garden is featured on the front cover of the North East Wales National Garden Scheme brochure as it is such a special place steeped in history and I would encourage everyone to stop by and experience it."

The House and Gardens will be open on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays from 10.30am to the last entry at 4pm during the season.
