This entrance from Channel View into American Gardens is at the NW edge of Pontypool Park. New World imports include giant redwoods from California and monkey puzzle trees from Chile. Monkey puzzles (Araucaria araucana) now common in the UK, were a novelty when planted here in the 1850s, when the site was known as the American Grounds.
