Brief Description:
Colby Woodland Garden has an industrial heritage and played an active part in Pembrokeshire’s coal industry during the late 1700s. The garden was planted nearly a century later, but reminders of its industrial past are scattered throughout the eight-acre site.
The coal from the mines at Colby, which was pulled out off the mine by children because of the shallow seams, was transported to Saundersfoot.
Colby Lodge, built between 1802 and 1805, is not open to the public.
The garden was initially planted in the 1870s by Samuel Kay when further alterations during the 1920s, with ponds and other features, were built.
The whole site includes a walled garden, an old tramway and other artifacts and art works.
