Glenwhan Gardens

Glenwhan has been described as one of the best newly created gardens in recent times and is regarded as one of Scotland ’s important gardens.  Twenty-five years ago there existed but bracken & gorse and the odd willow.  With a south facing aspect, 300 ft above sea level, there are magnificent views to Luce Bay and the Isle of Man.  With the help of the Gulf Stream , many plants flourish from around the southern hemisphere. This is a plantswomen’s garden for all seasons; in spring & early summer rhod0endrons and azaleas dazzle the visitor. Many rare gems may be discovered..  A peaceful haven with seats and winding paths through woodland walks surprises maybe found round every corner. Peacocks, red squirrels & ducks live in the garden. A new 17-acre native moorland walk is now open.

2011 - Open March to end October 10 - 17 30.
