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.
