'The only garden in Europe dedicated to the Law'
The Hywel Dda Gardens and Interpretive Centre recalls and celebrates the achievements of Hywel Dda, King of all Wales during the first half of the tenth century. The garden consists of six small interconnecting gardens, each representing separate divisions of the Law, and having its own symbolic tree. Extracts of the Laws are illustrated on slate plaques illuminated with enamels. The Interpretive Centre extends the symbolism of the garden.
