Los Jardines de Plas Brondanw - Una joya escondida del arte de jardinería de Gales

Los Jardines de Plas Brondanw en Penrhyndeudraeth, Gales, son unos de los jardines más hermosos y artísticamente exigentes de Gran Bretaña. Fueron diseñados por el famoso arquitecto y paisajista Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, conocido principalmente por su creación del pueblo inspirado en Italia, Portmeirion. Los jardines de Plas Brondanw son considerados una de sus obras maestras y un ejemplo destacado de la armonía entre arquitectura, paisaje y diseño de jardines.

Antecedentes históricos
Plas Brondanw fue la residencia familiar de la familia Williams-Ellis desde el siglo XVI. Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, nacido en 1883, heredó la propiedad en 1908 y dedicó su vida al diseño de los jardines. Inspirado por el arte de jardinería clásico de Italia y la belleza natural de Snowdonia, transformó la finca en una espectacular composición de terrazas, esculturas, setos y elementos acuáticos.

El diseño de los jardines fue un proyecto de toda la vida para Williams-Ellis, y consideraba a Plas Brondanw como su obra más personal. Su objetivo era resaltar la belleza natural del entorno y crear una conexión entre la arquitectura y el paisaje. Los jardines son un testimonio de su comprensión estética y su compromiso con la preservación del paisaje galés.

Diseño y características especiales
Los Jardines de Plas Brondanw se caracterizan por un diseño estructurado y geométrico que recuerda a los jardines renacentistas italianos, pero que está perfectamente integrado en la salvaje belleza de Snowdonia. Williams-Ellis creó una serie de espacios de jardín separados por setos, muros, balaustradas y escaleras, pero que se fusionan armoniosamente entre sí.

Las características notables de los jardines incluyen:
- Jardines en terrazas delimitados por muros de piedra bajos que ofrecen vistas impresionantes de las montañas circundantes.
- Setos formales de boj que forman patrones simétricos y le dan a los jardines una estructura clara.
- Ornamentos y esculturas de piedra, incluyendo figuras mitológicas y estatuas antiguas situadas en los paisajes del jardín.
- Fuentes y estanques que crean una atmósfera tranquila y meditativa.
- Parterres y plantas exóticas que contrastan perfectamente con las estrictas formas arquitectónicas de los jardines.

Particularmente impresionante es el eje principal del jardín, que ofrece una vista espectacular de las cumbres del Parque Nacional de Snowdonia. Estas vistas están diseñadas deliberadamente para integrar el paisaje natural en el diseño del jardín.

Importancia y patrimonio cultural
Los Jardines de Plas Brondanw no solo son un ejemplo de arte de jardinería excepcional, sino también un importante patrimonio cultural de Gales. Williams-Ellis abogó apasionadamente por la preservación del paisaje galés y fue un defensor temprano de la conservación de la naturaleza y el desarrollo sostenible.

Los jardines reflejan su enfoque estético y filosófico, que enfatizaba la belleza, la armonía y el respeto por el medio ambiente. Son considerados una especie de "pequeño Portmeirion", ya que muchos de los elementos de diseño utilizados allí encontraron su origen aquí.

Hoy en día, los Jardines de Plas Brondanw son una parte importante del patrimonio cultural galés y atraen a visitantes que desean experimentar la única combinación de arquitectura, arte de jardinería y naturaleza.

Conclusión
Los Jardines de Plas Brondanw son un impresionante ejemplo de diseño de jardines creativo y un legado significativo de Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. Combinan elementos clásicos con la salvaje belleza del paisaje galés y ofrecen una experiencia única para los amantes de los jardines, la arquitectura y la belleza natural. Su combinación de espacios de jardín estructurados, detalles artísticos y vistas impresionantes los convierte en uno de los jardines más hermosos de Gales y un destino inolvidable para los visitantes.

Enjoyed the gardens on a cold sunny January day. We were the only visitors there at the time. The light snow covering made the gardens very special

We first visited Plas Brondanw many years ago and instantly loved the feel and location of the gardens - it was an obvious choice when we came to select a wedding venue! The Orangery was the perfect setting for our wedding ceremony and the gardens were the ideal setting, both for our wedding photographs and for our guests to stroll and enjoy. Lowri and her team were extremely helpful, friendly, and provide excellent tea and cake in their wonderful cafe! We couldn't have hoped for more warm and accommodating hosts for our wedding day. A place we will continue to visit regularly!

Splendid and quirky (in a good way), home of Clough Williams-Ellis, maybe you need to know who he is to best appreciate the house. The mild and damp climate ensures a green and pleasant garden which is run separately.

The gardens are picturesque, serene and presents a photo opportunity everywhere you look. The original house is beautiful and the staff at the cafe are welcoming and the food is beautiful. The walk to the tower near the carpark is beautiful with breathtaking views.

We made this visit purely because of it's connections to being used for filming in the Dr Who episode "the five doctors" Several scenes were filmed in this magnificent place with connections to the portmeirion estate being the home of the chap whom built portmeirion. The gardens are lovely and were used for the scene where the first doctor is captured by the time scoop. Even if you're not a Dr Who fan, this place is well worth a visit as the house and gardens are magical! Across the road and up a steep hill you reach the plas brondanw tower which was given as a wedding gift. This tower served as the main backdrop to the scenes in the "the five doctors" as the eye of orion. Again, a very magical place and it's isolation really does give off those 'alien planet vibes' The creep grotty is a little further down the hill. Check it out! There are accesible toilets, a lovely house to see and a tearoom.

Very nice house, knowledgeable staff who gave history of the house. Lovely stopover for lunch. Clean toilets in the main house which was free. We did not go to the gardens but from the house, the views looked great.

A haven of colour and serenity with the backdrop of Snowdonia (and arguably it's best views). The gallery changed 7 times a year, always a reason to come back. We even came away with a painting that typifies the garden at Plas Brondanw. Oddly, we were going to go to Portmerion for the first time today but the weatherade is hold off. Visiting here was the perfect introduction. Many thanks to the staff who clearly love their jobs and to the gardener, blonde, smiley who took time out of his day to point out the individual mountains in the distance and to share some walks with us.

As a wedding photographer I absolutely adore Plas Brondanw Gardens. It provided the perfect backdrop for our couples intimate weddings. The blend of North Welsh charm and tranquil beauty created an unforgettable atmosphere. We just posted a wedding on our blog featuring a ceremony in the gardens in March and it's just the perfect spot. Highly recommend for couples seeking a picturesque venue.

Beautiful. Inspiring. Special place. Great children's exhibition currently. Warm welcome. Wonderful to be able to speak Welsh with those there too. Even in deep winter the gardens are gorgeous.

Evocative. A way of life less traveled perhaps yet insightful into the Williams-Ellis family. Sit awhile in contemplation under the Evergreen Oak and simply observe.
