National Trust takes over management of Dyffryn House and Gardens
Dyffryn House and Gardens reopen to the public today under the management of the National Trust.
Vale of Glamorgan Council will continue to own the property, while granting the Trust a 50-year lease.
"Growing and shaping a glorious garden is a long-term project" said Justin Albert, Director of the National Trust in Wales.
"The passion that has gone into creating Dyffryn Gardens over the years - from volunteers, staff and supporters - cannot be taken for granted. And we want everyone to join with us in harnessing that passion for a new stage of Dyffryn's journey."
