I spent a few hours between the gardens, and Swansea Bay, beach. It was all beautiful and free xx

I have visited the Gower many times to camp and enjoyed the fabulous beaches but fancied somewhere a little different to walk the dogs. I discovered Clyne Gardens and was so glad I did. What a gem! A gorgeous walk in well kept gardens and the dogs could run free in beautiful surroundings. Free entry with free parking by The Woodman pub. Amazing!

This park/gardens are amazing. You can walk around for a good few miles walk with some hills and see so much trees, plants, flowers etc. The view from up top is so great as well, very impressive. There are toilets at the park which is nice and a parking lot on the south side. So many people walking dogs in this park as well, but very very clean park since they fine people for leaving dog poop.

A beautiful garden. Dog friendly if they are on a lead. The layout is dense with some beautiful plants and features to see. There is a good toilet right near the entrance with a small cafe in a cool caravan there too. There are benches to sit on along the root round the garden if you need a break as the hill can get steep. When coming back down from the top make sure you walk off the main path on the map and go to the far left corner of the map so that you don't miss the Japanese bridge and the beginning of the walk along side the stream. As you walk that route we found it better to be on the path to the left, the lower path, as that runs along the stream. Our kid loved walking through the shallow stream with her wellies on. When down that way, try and spot the tree with a branch like the foot of a horse.

A nice garden to visit off Mumbles Road next to The Woodman Pub. Ideal place for a walk with different collections and displays around the garden. Unfortunately we didn't see the entire garden has it take a while to walk round and it was raining. We will visit again another time when it's sunny. Parking is free and it's best to navigate to the The Woodman Pub.

Very nice gardens with lot of different plants and lot of small bridges over little creeks. And the gardens are very popular with locals walking their dogs so you can meet a lot of new friends. Easily accessible and easy to navigate with clear paths.

Beautiful gardens. Spent several hours wandering through. So much to see. A definite must if you visit Swansea or The Mumbles.

Lovely free public garden. Especially good in May when Rhododendrons and Azaleas are in bloom. Small catering caravan for teas and cakes as well as clean toilets. All free. Car park near the pub and within walking distance of the beach.

Beautiful walk around stunning gardens

Great place to walk the dogs, lots of interesting flowers and shrubbery with information tags, stop and get a nice coffee.

Excellent place with lots of different trail that keep the kids busy with lots of small bridges. Japanese bridge is gorgeous. We parked in Mill lane where parking is free outside Mumbai restaurant. We then chilled in the lido that is just opposite the garden and a great walk along the beach. It can't go wrong with everything on offer It is absolutely free.

Nestled in Swansea, Wales, Clyne Gardens stands as a testament to botanical brilliance, boasting a sprawling 50 acres of vibrant plants like rhododendrons, azaleas, and Japanese maples. The gardens are more than just flora; they’re segmented into themed sections such as the Mediterranean Garden, the Bog Garden, and the Alpine Garden, each offering its own unique experience. My visit in August was nothing short of enchanting. The gardens, in full bloom, presented a spectacle of colors, scents, and serenity. The Japanese Bridge was a personal favourite, its wooden structure providing a picturesque crossing over a tranquil stream with roaring waterfall. Additionally, events and plant exhibitions are hosted throughout the year. But there’s more to these gardens: Year-round Beauty: Open throughout the year, Clyne is at its zenith during spring and summer. Accessibility: Entry is free, and while wheelchair-friendly, some pathways may challenge manual wheelchairs due to their steepness or natural soil composition. Floral Highlights: The gardens house a nationally acclaimed collection of Rhododendrons and Azaleas, along with mature trees and perennial flowers. Map and Navigation: The provided map, detailed with trails and features, greatly aids in navigating the gardens. However, an enhancement that shows distances between points would make it even more user-friendly. While there are several information displays, more could be done. The bridges, for instance, could be better identified and labeled, akin to the map, which would assist visitors in route planning. Trail Discrepancies: A challenge is the misalignment between the official trails on the map and what exists on the ground. Over time, shortcuts used by visitors and locals have morphed into unofficial trails. This, combined with the inconsistency in trail markings, can be disorienting for both new and returning visitors. Intriguing Elements: A peculiar observation is that each footbridge is named distinctly, with only the Japanese Bridge having a storied past and a display to its name. The presence of ponds and a stream adds to the allure, with the latter morphing into a roaring cascade after rain, creating mini waterfalls along the way. Panoramic Lawn: The Main Lawn, sloping downwards from St Catwg Walk to the Mumbles Road entrance, offers a mesmerizing view of Swansea Bay. Furnished with picnic tables and benches crafted from fallen trees, it’s the perfect spot to relax. Parking is also provided, shared with The Woodman pub, with street parking options surrounding the gardens. Clyne Gardens is more than a garden; it's an experience. From the fascinating plants to the undulating landscapes and water features, it’s a haven of tranquility in the heart of Swansea. Whether you're an avid botanist, a photographer, or just someone looking to escape the everyday hustle, Clyne Gardens promises a visit you won't forget. However, with a few adjustments and clarifications in navigation aids, the experience could be even more seamless.

Such lovely gardens! A woodland and bog garden, which is well-run by the City Council. Clyne Gardens contains varied National Collections of plants set in beautiful parkland, with features such as a Japanese bridge, Admiral's Tower and the magnificent Clyne Castle. There are panoramic views of Swansea Bay. There's toilet facilities which is handy

Absolutely gorgeous area for a walk with terrain to suit all abilities as well as wheelchairs/ prams. Very popular with locals and tourists who cycle, run, walk their pets as well as fish in the lake.

Beautiful place with lots of different landscapes and a variety of trees all over the garden. And it has a nice cafeteria and an ice cream Van.

A really pleasant dog friendly area to visit.

First visit to Clyne Gardens and can't wait to go back! Beautiful Gardens in beautiful setting, with stunning views of the coastline. There is plenty of benches to sit on and the scenery is outstanding all around you. You can buy coffee, tea etc or bring your own! Car parking is great, we parked in first carpark as you drive down the side of the Woodman Arms. Clyne Gardens is an hidden gem, which I am sure you will love ❤

Super quiet and greeny place. A must visit during the Swansea visit.

Beautiful place, I thoroughly enjoy every visit. The coloura if the flowers were especially beautiful today.

Very beautiful park.. Lots of colorful plants.. Lush greenery.

Beautiful Gardens, ideal for an afternoon with nature.. A real piece of paradise on our doorstep.

I came to Clyne Gardens to pick off a geocache that required me to visit various locations within the gardens. I had a lovely stroll around the gardens reading the little plaques at the foot of the trees and next to various plants. I climbed the little tower and saw the beautiful Japanese style bridge. Found the little lookout. Its a shame that the look out can't be opened to the public. The small cottage was sadly covered in graffiti. It would be nice if this was done up and it could be a nice place to sit and read. If you've not been to Clyne Gardens it is a great place out for a family walk or a nice picnic. Sadly not all of the gardens are wheel chair assessable as there are some steep paths and some steps dotted throughout the gardens but wheel chair users can still enjoy the lower lower sections of the gardens.

Loved it, a great place to take a walk amongst the woodlands..... Definitely worth a visit

Beautiful garden, nice autumn colours
