Where to Visit in and around Berriew

Just outside Berriew you will find the sensory delight of Glansevern Gardens (on the A483). With over 25 acres on the banks of the River Severn and the Kerry hills as a back-drop you can while away many hours. The romance of the gardens is matched by the Hall itself, a Greek Revival house of great elegance and charm which dates from 1801.

Glansevern is a place of calm and tranquility, a sensation fostered by the presence of water in every direction – the river on one side, fountains and pools in the garden itself, a lake surrounded by trees with an island folly and a delightful water garden, a riot of colour and growth, set among the lake’s feeder streams.

The remodelled walled garden is a revelation - nine "rooms", each with its own distinctive planting theme. Each compartment is also invisible from the others- a box of nine surprises with colour and interest throughout the seasons.

Beyond the flower-filled herbaceous borders and formal gardens is a tree-lined walk down to the Severn which passes a massive rock garden with it's mysterious grotto and a romantic, perfectly round folly that overlooks 2 rivers and the valley below.

At the riverside is a bird and wildlife watchers paradise and a haven for contemplation with a wildflower water meadow and a newly built raised bird-hide.

After you've exhausted yourself in the gardens the sensory pleasures continue in the fully licensed tearoom, renowned for its home-cooking. Irresistable treats are on offer for morning coffee, lunch and tea. And for those who want a bit of retail therapy too there is a Gift Shop. So whether you have an hour or a day Glansevern Gardens is a truly worthwhile destination.

The only museum in Europe dedicated to a living artist. Andrew had always dreamed of opening a museum to share with the world his unique approach to life and art. He wanted the museum to be a vibrant space to display examples of work he had created over the decades and to stage events that would share his vision and skill for curating performance and spectacle.
