The gardens at Kerdalo date back to 1965 and were created by the horticultural imagination and artistic  talent of Peter Wolkonsky, who felt drawn in by the hills and acidic soils surrounding the old manor house  and overlooking the river Jaudy. 

Since his death, continued planting has taken place. The 18 hectare  garden is a hidden, self-contained world that is both a natural and manmade botanical and romantic universe
