To secure the long term management and conservation of Parc Yr Esgob-Bishop’s Park, and to ensure it remains a beautiful, safe, enriching environment for visitors and the local community, we need your help.
A one-off or a monthly donation can make a huge difference to our work – enabling us to carry on maintaining the appearance of the Park, supporting wildlife, welcoming visitors and the local community to special events such as the Parc Yr Esgob-Bishop’s Park Horticultural Show, providing educational activities and opportunities for volunteers.
With your support we can maintain what we have done and ensure the Park is here for future generations to enjoy.
Are you interested in history, gardens, conservation, wildlife, or our environment? Or do you love the opportunity to be outside for a walk? Maybe you just want to help us save this amazing piece of our local history and heritage for future generations to experience and enjoy. Project grants have assisted us to achieve much but we need your help to keep these gardens going.

Conserving and enhancing opportunities for wildlife to flourish is at the heart of everything we do at Bishop’s Park. Both our buildings and parkland are home to many different species – and through our work we are monitoring what we have and how they make the site their home, noting any changes over the seasons, and maximising opportunities for them to flourish. From otters, bats, slowworms, eels, swans and kingfishers – it’s fascinating to find out who lives in the Park!
The Bishops Park and Gardens is brimming with history. From the ancient trees which have stood watch here for centuries, to the walled garden which provided exotic food and flowers for the bishop’s table, to the oxbow lake and the shifting landscape of the Tywi Valley flood plain, to the medieval bishops palace which the Park surrounds and the people that lived and worked here.
Horticulture is a key aspect of our heritage at the Bishop’s Park, and a major part of our ongoing restoration. In unearthing the site’s gardening past we aim to understand how the historic methods and techniques of yesteryear can be used to inform a more sustainable future, both for the people and for the wildlife that share this unique and special place.
