Excursion The national botanic gardens of wales tour at Pembroke Pines

Enjoy a visit to The National Botanic Gardens of Wales, the first national botanical garden to be created in the United Kingdom for over 200 years. Set in the former 18th century regency park of Middleton Hall in Carmarthenshire, the Gardens enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and a rich cultural heritage.

Travel 75 minutes to the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Upon arrival at the gardens be greeted by a senior horticulturist for an introductory talk before allowing you to explore the gardens in depth independently. The Gardens stretch over more than 500 acres and contain a variety of micro-climates for plant and animal life to thrive including lakes, woodlands, wildflower meadows and the spectacular Great Glasshouse, the largest single-span greenhouse in the world housing some of the most endangered plants from six Mediterranean climate regions - Australia, California, South Africa, Chile, Canary Islands and the Mediterranean.

The Garden also boasts the longest herbaceous border in Europe and the unique and historic Double Walled Garden traces the evolution of flowering plants. There is also access to the British Bird of Prey Centre which is home to twenty native birds such as hawks, kites and buzzards.

Make the return 75-minute trip to the pier.
