About the garden

Caerhays Castle and its 140-acre gardens are the home of the Williams family. The natural beauty of the coastline and its steep valleys, the architectural surprises, the inescapable sense of history and the range of activities and facilities the estate offers, all combine to create a wonderful setting for discovery and exploration.

The gardens originated from the work of plant hunters in China at the beginning of the 20th century. Caerhays bred the very first Camellia x williamsii and is now home to a Plant Heritage National Collection of magnolias, featuring over 600 species and named hybrids from around the world.
