Introduction
Plas Newydd, the home of Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, the 'ladies of Llangollen', in the late-18th and early-19th centuries, is now a museum. The main structure of the essentially wild gardens the women developed remains, although with the addition of a formal late-19th- and early-20th-century parterre.
