Introduction
Golden Grove is a late-19th- and early-20th-century terraced garden with yew topiary, blending well with the 16th-century house. Lady Aberconway, the daughter of Henry Pochin of Bodnant, designed the terraces, which lead from the forecourt down to the remains of a 17th-century walled garden. A walk through woodland leads to a mound. Golden Grove currently (2011) offers luxury bed and breakfast.
