About Hywel Dda Centre     
'The only garden in Europe dedicated to the Law'
The Hywel Dda Garden and Interpretive Centre recalls and celebrate the achievements of Hywel Dda, King of all Wales during the first half of the tenth century. The garden consists of six small interconnecting gardens, each representing separate divisions of the Law, and having its own symbolic tree. Extracts of the Laws are illustrated on slate plaques illuminated with enamels. The Interpretive Centre extends the symbolism of the garden.
The centre is an ideal venue for meetings, educational classes, lectures and exhibitions, as well as school and college visits. An activity pack for schools is available.
