Gelli Aur | Golden Grove
Country Park
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 Arboretum is a beautiful collection of mature trees and shrubs, planted in the 1860s by Cawdor's head gardener, John Hill. The collection includes Giant Redwood and Monterey Pine, among others. In May, the display of Rhododendrons and Azaleas is at its best.
After an immense effort by our team of volunteers, we opened the Arboretum to the public in May 2025.
You can visit the Arboretum every Sunday between 11am and 3pm.
