National Botanic Gardens of WalesA place of international significance dedicated to conservation, horticulture, science, education, leisure and the arts. As a landmark Millennium project, the Garden of Wales links the history of the last millennium with the present.
The Garden's centrepiece is the Great Glasshouse designed by world-famous architects Norman Foster and Partners Inside the amazing tilted glass dome is a Mediterranean landscape dominated by a six-metre deep ravine. Rock terraces and sheer faces are cut by streams and waterfalls. A lake provides a humid habitat at the foot of the chasm. Visitors are able to experience the aftermath of an Australian bush fire, pause in a Spanish olive grove or wander through collections of fuschias from Chile. National Botanic Gardens
The most significant environmental art installation ever to come to Wales has taken root at the National Botanic Garden.As ambitious as it is stunning, Ghost Forest is 10 giant hardwood tree stumps – highlighting the alarming rate of deforestation.
The trees, which have been in Trafalgar Square and outside the Danish Parliament in Copenhagen, have found a new and permanent home at the Carmarthenshire attraction, secured jointly by the National Botanic Garden in partnership with the charity, Size of Wales. 
Aberglasney House and GardensOne of the country's most exciting garden restoration projects. The 10 acres of garden contain an amazing variety and diversity of plants. Visit the unique & fully restored Elizabethan/Jacobean cloister & parapet walk.
Spectacularly set in the beautiful Tywi valley of Carmarthenshire, Aberglasney Gardens have been an inspiration to poets since 1477. The story of Aberglasney spans many centuries, but, the house's origins are still shrouded in obscurity.

Barafundle Bay
is considered not only one of the most beautiful beaches in the UK but also in the world, appearing in top 20 lists on many occasions. Part of the Stackpole estate and under the care of the National Trust this breathtaking beach is a remote haven of tranquility. Access to the beach is by steps along the cliff edge which unfortunately makes it unsuitable for wheelchairs or push chairs. The sand is golden and the water is incredibly clear, two features that contributed to the beach being awarded a seaside award and a green coast award. If you are thinking of visiting the Pembrokeshire Coast for your summer holiday away then Barafundle Bay is a beach not to be missed. It is brilliant for swimming and the expansive golden sand framed with wild sand dunes make it a good place for families to play and relax. 
Stackpole Estate is located between the villages of Stackpole and Bosherston near Pembroke, Pembrokeshire. It lies within thePembrokeshire Coast National Park and is owned and maintained by the National Trust. The property consists of 12 square kilometres (4.6 sq mi) of farmland, lakes, woodland, beaches, and cliffs.
The estate has no visible boundary and is accessible to visitors all year round. However the National Trust does charge for car parking at Stackpole Quay, Bosherston and Broad Haven South beach from spring through to October. Below Swansea Marina which leads onto The Mumbles
