Firgrove Country House B & B Location Information

Firgrove is surrounded by one and a half acres of established gardens with mature Pines and clipped and shaped Yew trees.
Visitors are welcome to relax in the gardens amongst the Hydrangeas, Camellias and Magnolias, many under planted with Clematis. Philip is gradually introducing a selection of less hardy plants into the enclosed side garden and also trying to establish a small ornamental woodland corner for Ferns and shade loving plants.

Nearby Ruthin is a small town steeped in history with a Norman Castle and quaint narrow streets lined with timber framed brick and stone houses around its central market square.
It is set in the heart of the vale of Clwyd surrounded by farmland and wooded areas and overlooked by the Clwydian mountains with the northerly section of Offa's Dyke long distance footpath giving easy access to fine mountain views.
Ruthin has a good selection of restaurants and one is within walking distance of Firgrove.
