There are rock outcrops planted with azaleas and heathers with banks of mature rhododendron. To the west is the lawn and rose garden with sort fruit garden beyond. Paths lead down to a large natural pool planted with lilies, surrounded by banks of rhododendron. There is a hard tennis court and the garden is bounded bon the south and east by the River Melindwr, a tributory of the Dovey. There is Sea Trout fishing in the river. Amongst the rockeries in the grounds there is a controlled stream from a mill pond which feeds the ornamental pool in the grounds via two waterfalls and thence into the river.
