On Sunday (9th) we headed west from Llandelio and stopped at the National Botanic Garden of Wales which has a huge selection of plants laid out in some impressive displays. As well as a Tropical House containing some rather exotic plants, their most eye-catching attraction is the Great Glasshouse. The structure is the largest single-span glasshouse in the world. Inside are plants from various parts of the world which all enjoy a Mediterranean climate. From outside it looks a little like a spaceship has landed on a Welsh hilltop!

One of the displays, relating to the connection between plants and medicine, was an excellent recreation of an Edwardian pharmacy.

After the visit we continued west to our next campsite, St David’s Lleithyr Meadow CMC site. for a 3 night stay.
