Built c1865 as a house, "Sunny Hill", on site partially cut out of hillside. The associated gardens were designed laid out by Henry Pochin between 1871 and 1876. Pochin is more famous for his gardens at Bodnant, begun in 1874, but he remained at Sunny Hill until 1876. By 1903 the property belonged to Joseph Broome, a specialist in growing orchids and glasshouse plants, and the gardens were re-ordered around this period. Virtually all other buildings associated with the site have been demolished or rebuilt. The garden was acquired for the town of Llandudno, and opened as a public garden in 1929, by Lloyd George.
