Английская Википедия:Colby Woodland Garden
Colby Woodland Garden (Шаблон:Lang-cy) is a National Trust woodland garden in a secluded valley, approximately ¾ of a mile north of Amroth in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is listed on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.[1]
History
The origin of the estate was the 18th century Rhydlangoed farmhouse, which was expanded by the Colby family, Pembrokeshire coal mine owners,[2] to create Colby Lodge in 1803. There were further alterations and changes of ownership until the property was bought by the Kay family in the 1870s. The woodland gardens were mainly created by Colonel and Mrs Crosland (nee Kay) in the early 20th century.[3][4] They are listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.[1]
Elidyr Mason, niece of Mrs Crosland, inherited the property. The house and walled garden were sold to Pamela and Peter Chance in 1965, with Mason retaining the woodland garden and the rest of the estate.[4] On Mason's death in 1979, her portion of the estate was left to the National Trust.[5] The Chances also transferred ownership of the house and walled garden to the National Trust in 1979, reuniting the two parts of the estate.[6]
Extent
The woodland, meadow and walled gardens are approximately Шаблон:Convert with plants such as azaleas, bluebells, camellias, daffodils, magnolias and rhododendrons, along with wildflowers in the meadow.[5]
Amenities

The house, Colby Lodge, is not open for public viewing, but provides serviced accommodation. [7][5] National Trust Holidays have three self-catering properties in the area.
