Upton Castle Gardens
Review
Like bejeweled, medieval embroidery, there are many varied threads, dating back to the 12th Century, that contribute to the fascinating history and mysteries of Upton Castle Gardens. There are 35 acres of listed historical gardens that encircle the 13th Century Upton Castle, situated in a small wooded valley, which stretches down to the upper reaches of the River Cleddau. Determined to create something very special indeed, Stanley Neale purchased Upton Castle in 1927, and proceeded to pour all his passion for plants into these stunning gardens. Visitors to the gardens can now enjoy the fruits of Stanley Neales’ hard work, which includes unusual and rare shrubs and trees, fabulous displays of mature plants, with paths through the woodland area which is the core of the garden. A fantastic team of volunteers now care for the garden, and so with thanks to them, as well as the lovely mild weather of Pembrokeshire, Upton Castle Gardens makes a perfect day out.
