Quartz uplift at Plas Cadnant Recently uncovered is a large quartz uplift beside the waterfall in the Lower Valley that had been mentioned in a book by geologist, E. Greenly in 1919, but was lost when the gardens fell into decline. The rock was rediscovered while clearing brambles on the opposite bank of the River Cadnant and the bright white quartz has once again become a feature of the Lower Valley Garden.

Repairs to damaged wall The build up of surface water on Boxing Day 2015 resulted in a 200 year old wall collapsing sending torrents of water and rocks down the valley damaging everything in its path. An amazing amount of restoration work has been undertaken since.
