Richard Szwejkowski has added a photo to the pool:
Bodnant Gardens, in the Conwy Valley, North Wales. Looking down on the tidal reaches of the Avon Conwy / River Conway from the western edge of the parkland.
This is Bodnant Hall and Gardens, dating from around 1792 but with later additions. The house overlooks Bodnant Gardens, whose origins are in 1874 when the estate was purchased by Henry Pochin, a chemist from Leicestershire who made money from a process of making soap. Five generations of the family have steadily developed and extended the gardens, with yet more areas planned.
The gardens, but not the house, were handed to the National Trust in 1949, although the Pochin family have continued to be involved. The house is Listed Grade II, but the Gardens are Grade I Listed and regarded as one of the most important and interesting of their type in the world.
