Two gorgeous Welsh gardens have been crowned the 4th and 10th best botanical gardens in the UK. Bodnant Garden in Conwy and Clyne Gardens in Swansea have been praised for their beautiful views, decent amenities, the space they offer to run around in, dog-friendly areas and, most importantly, accessibility for disabled people - and have now been ranked in the top 10 gardens in the UK Garden Index, beating stiff competition from more well-known gardens like Longleat Gardens and Queen Elizabeth II's Balmoral Castle.
The Index, published by Essential Living property developers, ranked the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew in first place - with a total score of 72.6 out of 100 - and the Royal Botanical Garden in Edinburgh in second place, with a score of 71.3 out of 100.
In third place was Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire with 71.2 points - and Wales' own Bodnant Garden in Tal-y-cafn, Colwyn Bay placed fourth, less than a point behind, with a total of 70.6 points out of 100.
