The Garden Rooms
One of the most enchanting features of the gardens is a series
of intimate outdoor rooms, many of which
are beautifully framed by clipped yew hedges. This
is a typical Edwardian feature and is part of the Arts and
Craft movement in garden design.
Thomas Mawson was known for this type of design and in turn
was sought by many owners wishing to have fine examples for
themselves. Mawson's work is epitomized in his book '
The Art and Craft of Garden Making' first published in the early
1900's and in which Dyffryn appears in the 5th edition, 1926.
All the garden rooms have undergone restoration over the last
decade, with further planting of the botanical collections planned
for the next decade.
