Glyn Aur, Abergwili, Carmarthen, Wales

This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

Glyn Aur was a cottage garden with extensive topiary, much of it representing biblical figures and events. It was sometimes known as the Garden of Eden. The garden was open in its heyday but is now sadly lost. There are, however, a number of old postcards based on photographs taken by the then owner, which show the full glory of the topiary.

Brief history of site

The topiary garden at Glyn Aur was created in the early-20th century by D. Davies. He was a keen photographer and published many picture postcards of his garden. These were available as late as 1946. Mr Davies was succeeded by his son, who died without issue. The site has since been completely lost.
