Carpets of bluebells can be seen in the spring as can many other wild flowers in season.

There is fishing for wild brown trout and stocked rainbow trout and the lake attracts herons, wild ducks and geese, moorhens and little grebe.

There are copious amounts of frog spawn and tadpoles in spring and the abundant insect life includes dragon and damsel flies.

The River Towy provides fishing for salmon and sea trout or just a quiet place to sit.

Wildlife to be seen at Henllys includes Red Kites, Buzzards, foxes and badgers.

As well as the gardens in front of the accommodation, guests have access to 12 acres of ancient broadleaved woodland and the estate lake.

A walk of about one mile is laid out through the woodland, made up of boardwalk and woodchip paths. The walk and the lake are very peaceful and with seating areas are ideal for picnics, painting or just sitting down and watching the wildlife go about its business.

Day tickets are available for fishing the lake and the river Towy nearby is renowned for its seatrout and salmon fishing.
