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.

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.

Spectacular colour displays in April and May and a delightful place to walk at any time of year

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.

The most Park in Swansea. Well worth a visit

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 ❤

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!

The garden is so beautiful and maintained well. It's quite a big park which means you can spend most of the day there.
It's good for all ages - it's a shame I wasn't a me to take more photos but hope it gives an idea of how much beautiful it is

Really nice gardens with a good variety of horticulture. Great views of Swansea Bay from the top. Great place to have a picnic. Free entry besides a parking charge. Would definitely go again.

Was my first time visiting the gardens today, and the whole experience took my breath away, been meaning to go there ever since my freinds got engaged there and recommended the gardens. Really happy that me and my future wife went there.

Beautiful gardens established over more than a century- free admission - allow at least 90 minutes to wander the dells and various meandering woodland paths. At the end of April there was a riot of colour and carpets of bluebells and wild garlic.
