Plas Brondanw was built by Clough Williams-Ellis’s ancestor around 1550. He was given the house by his father in 1908. “It was for Brondanw’s sake that I worked and stinted” he wrote, “for its sake that I chiefly hoped to prosper”.
Although less well known than his village and gardens at Portmeirion, the gardens of Brondanw are nevertheless considered by many to be Clough Williams-Ellis’smost important creation. All proceeds and donations go directly towards the cost of maintaining the garden.
The house itself is now also open to the public and houses an art gallery of ever changing artists and some of Susan Williams-Ellis’s art work and artefacts.
Plas Brondanw is also host to a charming cafe. The ideal venue to taste local Welsh produce, at its very best, whilst enjoying the tranquility of the gardens.
