Learning
Parc Yr Esgob-Bishop’s Park is a fabulous safe, accessible, open green space with 800 years of history linked with faith, culture, community, gardens and growing, as well as remarkable wildlife.
It offers a wealth of learning opportunities for visitors of all ages and abilities, whether linked to the school curriculum, home education, life-long learning, practical skills or informal learning through activities and events.
Our Learning Resources
Working in collaboration with Carmarthenshire Museum, the Trust are developing learning resources for Bishop’s Park visitors around 5 key themes:-
-
- a sense of place. The former palace of the Bishops of St Davids once a centre for spirituality, the arts and the Welsh language – for inspiring a new future
-
- a park through time. A private pleasure garden restored to its 19th century design – for understanding a changing past and cultivating a community led future
-
- food for thought. The walled kitchen garden with memories of past luxuries for the bishop’s table – for encouraging self-reliance and horticultural innovation
- saving the environment. The Great Meadow and the Bishop’s Pond together of special ecological significance – for engaging with contemporary issues of sustainability
-
- exploring the landscape. Physical and visual connections within the Tywi Valley and beyond – for building links and networks between places and people.
