Internationally famous for its surperb collections of Rhododendrons, Pieris and Enkianthus, the gardens offer a haven of tranquility, lush planting and interesting features.

Our specialist parks are truly magnificent, blooming with rare species, national collections and famous annual displays. The prestigious parks with green flag status are a sanctuary for people from the hustle and bustle of city life. The gardens are truly spectacular all year round.

During May the gardens celebrate Clyne in Bloom where there are lots of events and activities for visitors of all ages, and where the displays of Rhododendrons and Azaleas are at their most spectacular. 


Parking and toilet facilities
There is limited parking at the main entrance by the Woodman pub on the Mumbles Road.  More on-road parking can be found at the top of the park at Westport Avenue, off Mayals Road. 

Toilet facilities can be found in a block near the main entrance; just follow the main path up the hill and the block is on your right.

Please note, Clyne has some steep paths.  There are some stepped areas, though none on the tarmaced main path that winds up through the park.
