Quando se pensa em Londres muito dificilmente associamos a um pequeno jardim botânico! No histórico bairro de Chelsea, o Chelsea Physic Garden oferece um sem número de espécies de plantas! Vale bem a pena a visita! Não deixe de passar pela zona da perfumaria, onde uma série de plantas deixa um odor magnifico no ar.
Descrição no site (
Tucked away beside the Thames, Chelsea Physic Garden is a celebration of the beauty and importance of plants. This walled Garden was founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries for its apprentices to study the medicinal qualities of plants. It became one of the most important centres of botany and plant exchange in the world. Today, as an independent charity, we rely on visitors, Friends and supporters to help protect and nurture the Garden for future generations.

Cowbridge is a market town in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales, approximately 7 miles west of Cardiff. Cowbridge is twinned with Clisson in the Loire-Atlantique department in northwestern France. Cowbridge is part of the Cowbridge with Llanblethian community (civil parish) which elects a Town Council.
On 13 March 1254, Cowbridge received its first borough charter from Richard de Clare, the Lord of Glamorgan. Richard de Clare was one of the most powerful Barons of the day, having huge estates stretching across much of South Wales and also lands in southern and eastern England. The town walls were built following this, sometime in the latter half of the 13th century.
The present Cowbridge Town Hall, a building whose foundations date back perhaps as far as the Elizabethan era, served as a prison until 1830, when it was converted into a town hall to replace the former Guild Hall, demolished at that date. The New Palladian Town Hall was built in 1830 by Isaiah Verity of Ash Hall who in gratitude was made a Freeman of Cowbridge. The money for the reconstruction was raised by public subscription.
Eight of the original prison cells are still intact, six of which house the exhibits of Cowbridge Museum. The remainder of the building is used by the town council and for public events. The museum holds archaeological finds from Cowbridge and district, as well as displays on the later history of the town, including industrial and domestic artefacts, a photographic collection, and a small historical costume collection.
Cowbridge contains the following inns: the Bear Hotel, the Horse and Groom, the Edmondes Arms, the Duke of Wellington and the Vale of Glamorgan. The latter is located at the premises of the former Vale of Glamorgan Brewery. Closely attached to the town of Cowbridge is the village of Aberthin. Aberthin contains two inns; The Hare and Hounds and The Farmers Arms. Cowbridge once had a railway station, which opened in 1865 and closed in 1951.
Cowbridge is also home to the Cowbridge Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS), based at the Market Theatre. CADS was formed in 1947 and aims to stage three main productions each year. The Society also publishes a newsletter, The Thespian, three or four times each year. Until 1997, when it 'outgrew' the Town Hall stage, Cowbridge was also home to the Cowbridge Amateur Operatic Society (CAOS).

Cowbridge is the only town of the old County of Glamorgan to retain its walls and pretty as they are, they mark a torrid time in our history.
Richard de Clare was the richest and potentially the most powerful of English lords and he joined Simon de Montfort in the rebellion against King Henry II.
His reward? An attempted poisoning in 1258 although the plotter was caught, tried and hanged.
de Clare had awarded Cowbridge its charter in 1254 and by 1266, the town had four gates and the south gate still stands today.
The years of its construction marked a series of violent struggles between powerful aristocrats and the walls were commissioned not to protect inhabitants but to protect the de Clare income.
Much of the wall still stands, especially around the Old Hall garden and near the South Gate. Cowbridge is the only town of the old County of Glamorgan to retain its walls and present day Cowbridge is a member of the Walled Town Circle.
Did you know?
Richard de Clare's income was £4,500 a year -- that's around £2,500,000 today.
