Croeso | Welcome
The Gelli Aur Estate is a stunning 100-acre wooded parkland surrounding a magnificent mansion house, and with breathtaking views of the Tywi Valley. Once the home of the Vaughan and Cawdor families, Golden Grove offers a range of attractions for visitors to enjoy.
Take a stroll along the nature trails to explore the woodland, parkland and meadows, where you can spot a variety of birds, plants, and butterflies. Don't miss the chance to see native wildlife including birds of prey, deer and an array of interesting and beautiful insects.
The Golden Grove Arboretum is one of Wales’s most remarkable historic tree collections. Created in the mid-nineteenth century for the Earls of Cawdor, it reflects a golden age of Victorian plant exploration, when rare and exotic trees were brought back from across the world to estates such as Golden Grove. It was planted in the 1860s by the Cawdor’s Head Gardener, John Hill.
You can visit the Arboretum every Sunday between 11am and 3pm.
