Cyfol sy'n cyflwyno stori gerddi hanesyddol Cymru trwy lygaid hwyr cyfoes ac ymwelwyr. Dyma ddeunydd rhyfeddol, sy'n swynol o fanwl ac yn annisgwyl o ddoniol. Adroddir sut y daeth y gerddi mawrion yn hygyrch am y tro cyntaf i'r bonedd cyn iddynt gael eu hagor yn ddiweddarach i gynulleidfa ehangach o'r dosbarth canol.

This book considers the historic gardens of Wales as seen through the prism of the writings of contemporary travellers and tourists. Endlessly fascinating, intricately detailed and unexpectedly humorous, it relates how the great gardens were first made accessible to the polite world before being opened up to a wider, middle-class audience.
