  About this garden

 The story 
-----------

At the heart of the garden stands a dramatic 4.5m-high sculpture made by Adrian Gray from 12 tonnes of Welsh granite, with one rock balanced on another to evoke a vertiginous cliff face. It represents the courage needed to overcome fear and take on a personal challenge.

Around it, the garden is designed as an intriguing landscape filled with opportunities for discovery. An eccentric timber bothy, overlooks a sunken garden rich in textured greenery.

Taking subtle inspiration from the Celtic landscape and character of Aberdyfi in north Wales, the garden reflects the idea at the heart of The Outward Bound Trust: with the right challenge and support, 'I can't' can become 'I can'.
