Benmore Botanic Gardens

This mountain-side Benmore Botanic Garden is under the direction of the Edinburgh Royal Botanic Garden. It has probably the finest avenue  of Giant Redwoods in the country.
There are fine collections of rhododendrons and magnolias which are well suited to the mild and damp climate.
Plenty to see including Bhutanese Glade and Chilean Glade, pond and fine viewpoint.
Some of the walks are along the edge of the hills on gravel paths and over bridges giving which give a real atmosphere of how the plants would be in their natural environment.
Newly restored Victorian Fernery opened in September 2009..
Benmore Botanic Garden is a great day out. Editor's choice!
