Sculptor Robert Kennedy.

Six separate small upright works set on stone bases; two boxing gloves, two dolls, cherub and a skull. Information from Festival Park: 'The works were carved away from site during 1991. They are made to operate as conventional garden ornamentation, within a constructed garden. The boxing gloves are there to depict some of their associated aspects, such as maleness and competition. The dolls depict something of how an image is idealised for mass consumption, becoming a distortion of the human figure. Both the gloves and the dolls can be seen as gendering devices through role play. The cherub and skull are life and death charms. Each of these suggests ways in which we adopt roles in society. What we really are is never as clear cut as what these images suggest.'
Borderline was supported by Garden Festival Wales and Chapter Arts Centre. 'The sculptor, Robert Kennedy, felt that the Garden Festival was a huge, themed social event in itself. He wanted to create a themed garden within it, something social, commenting to some extent on the diversity of culture within real society.'
A number of sculptures were commissioned for the Garden Festival of Wales in 1991/2 and some works remain on site.

"This property is the worst place I have ever stayed in, I stay in a lot off air brb as I work away from home a lot. Nothing comes close to this place, absolute dump, mold all over the upstairs, rubbish still on the floor looks like the cleaner gave up years ago. We arrived at the property after waiting 3 hours to be told someone was in there who shouldn’t have been. Key code was wrong took an hour to get that. No towels no toilet roll absolute disgusting also had a smell to the house. I would...

"Nice place. Well maintained for the price paid "

"Nice, clean with easy instructions from the property host.The area itself is quite and rural with a nice walking path behind the property.The one negative is the fact that the takeout options are so so but that is personal preference.Depending on where you want to go in Cardiff it, it can take between 30 and "

"Absolutely loved it here, so peaceful and quiet. Just we wanted but within easy reach of Abergavenny and Monmouth for provisions. We loved it so much we are going to book for next year! "

"My family and I enjoyed our stay at this location. Rooms were spacious and the location was suitable for my family. I would definitely recommend this location to friends and family members."

"Booked this stay with the promise of parking but when we arrived there was no where to stop or park in the street or neigbouring streets. I contacted the owner and was told to park in council parking 17 mins away. A very hostile neigbourhood so had to go and find another last minute stay in next town. No help from Stayz either."

"It is not a bad place. The place need to be cleaned properly when someone leaves. A potato and a bottle of milk was left in the fridge. I threw the potato away as it was smelling but did not tough the milk. I think a shower curtain may help to prevent the bathroom tiles getting wet. Thankshe milk. "

"We absolutely loved our stay at Trebarried Mill. The house is huge, and so comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the beds were very comfortable. We had incredible weather, so we spent lots of time on the patio, and hiking around the surrounding hills and villages. We would go back in an instant!"

"I don't recommend staying here. I rented it because it was reasonably priced (comparatively) and available the week of the Taylor Swift concert, it had a lot of beds, and the photos looked ok. But there are a number of drawbacks that aren't explained: - It's not a good neighborhood. We felt uncomfortable walking until we got a few blocks away. And there was trash everywhere on the local streets. - The beds are uncomfortable, and one of the king beds had a loud plastic mattress cover for some...

The Parkgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really liked this property. The bed was super comfortable. Location great although you cannot pull up outside. Breakfast was very good with attentive staff. In fact all staff we encountered were super friendly. The only negative for me was, like so many other hotels, the lighting was not great in the room making it difficult to do hair or makeup. Plus no shelf/dressing table area even though room was spacious. Would definitely stay again and happily recommend to others."
