CAE HIR

'Silent Space' is a movement sweeping the gardening world; a concept brought to life in 2016 by garden photographer and writer Liz Ware. To be given permission to be silent is an idea that speaks volumes, and we happily grant it daily throughout our open season. When entering our Silent Space simply switch off your phone and let the peace and tranquility do the talking.

Our ‘Silent Space’ is at the very top of the garden – a beautiful, peaceful spot overlooking the garden and ancient woodland beyond, where buzzards and kites soar almost at eye level. A simple bench inside a simple iron-work structure over which a zealous kiwi clambers and climbs gives a feeling of seclusion and comfort, while still being open to the elements. This is a spot where peace will come looking for you, and you will fall into its arms.

Come and meet the Easter Bunny himself at Cae Hir on Easter Monday! Every child will be able to sit with the Easter Bunny to get that all important photo, have a little chat and  be given a proper, Cadbury's Easter Egg by the Easter Bunny himself. It's all part of the fabulous Easter EGGstravaganza Hunt where you are sent on a hunt around the garden looking for all manner of things from Easter eggs to bunny tracks, spring flowers to playing cards!

If you need a rest before, during or after you complete the EGGstravaganza Hunt then the tearoom will, of course, be serving all things Easter and delicious! From crispy chocolate nests to simnel cake to hot cross buns to the Easter Bunny's favourite meal - deliciously warming carrot (and coriander) soup, there is something available for all tastes!
