'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.

On the Carmarthenshire / Pembrokeshire border, the centre is an
