Best in autumn: the dawn redwood is deciduous, and its foliage turns a foxy copper-red before falling — often the finest time to visit.

About this place
Compiled from the listed sources below — not a first-hand account.
Bodnant Garden is a National Trust garden near Tal-y-Cafn in the Conwy Valley, where Henry Davis Pochin developed a pinetum of American and Oriental conifers from the 1870s along the River Hiraethlyn in the valley garden known as the Dell. It grows all three redwoods — coast redwood, giant sequoia and dawn redwood — and has long been celebrated for some of the UK's tallest coast redwoods; a 51.5m champion coast redwood near the Old Mill was lost to Storm Arwen in late 2021, but tall redwoods still tower over the Dell. A paid National Trust property (members free), with free parking.
