The three acres of grounds near Pandy, include streams, rockeries and woodland walks.

The gardens which were started in 1986 provide views over the Skirrid and Sugar Loaf.

Great Campston is an historic site, settlements have been recorded there since the 12th Century and it was visited by Charles 1 in 1645.

The house is Grade 11 listed, but not open.

Great Campston is open from 2pm until 6pm and entry is £4.50, with children free.

Homemade teas and plants will be available.

To find the gardens follow the yellow signs from the A465 by Llanfihangel Crucorney and Pandy. All proceeds go to the charities supported by the garden scheme including Marie Curie and Macmillan Cancer Support.
