Open Doors - Plas yn Rhiw and Sarn y Plas

Discover the breathtaking gardens of Plas yn Rhiw, a 17th-century manor perched above Cardigan Bay. Explore the beautifully tended garden filled with vibrant flowers, shrubs, and box-hedged beds. Enjoy walks through the orchard, meadow and woodlands. 

While the house is currently closed for restoration, one of the rooms will be open.

Nearby, Sarn y Plas, nestled beneath the woods of Plas yn Rhiw, is a historic cottage, once the home of poet R.S. Thomas and his wife, M.E. Eldridge.

Plas yn Rhiw will be free to enter for the weekend (garden only, house closed for ongoing building
works) and Sarn y Plas will be accessible on a freeflow
