Open Doors - Gwaenynog Gardens

A chance to see the kitchen gardens that inspired the Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies.

Beatrix Potter visited the residence of her uncle and aunt on thirteen occasions between 1895 and 1913. Her sketches of the garden were used to illustrate the book. You can see Mr. McGregor's potting shed, looking just as it did in the book. The gardens have been restored to replicate the vista that Beatrix Potter viewed on her visits. They are still visited by rabbits.

The 2026 Denbigh Open Doors Weekend launches on Friday 18 September with a self-drive Tour
of the Vale, followed by an evening lecture at Theatr Twm o'r Nant, “Restoring and repositioning Brookhouse Mill for the future”. Over the following two days, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September, thirty historically important sites in the locale will be open to the public. This will be supplemented by children’s workshops, guided tours and an interactive show. A booking service for events with limited places will be available through Denbigh Library, closer to the weekend. Further information will be available at -
