This path winds through a narrow belt of woodland planted with Cyclamen hederifolium, an autumn flowering species that came to Anglesey Abbey courtesy of HM Customs & Excise.
The corms were a part of a much larger consignment destined for sale in this country that had been illegally collected in Turkey.
These were seized by Customs and distributed to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and Anglesey abbey where they remain as a wild population with no further plants being added to the group.

Other shade loving plants in this area include Dog Toothed Violets (Erythronium spp.) and Snakes Head Fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) and a number of Snowdrops.
A number of Philadelphus plants grow on either side of the path, which carries on past the Herbaceous Border and follows the course of the river for a short way until it joins the Dahlia Garden.
