Caerhays Gardens
During the late 18th and early 19th century, the Williams family sponsored plant hunting expeditions to bring back exotic specimens but the gardens at Caerhays were created in early 1900s and the majority of plants were collected from expeditions to China in this period. The garden is now home to 600 varieties of plants, including trees and shrubs such as magnolias, azaleas and camellias. By 1917, it had over 250 types of rhododendron.
