Glenwhan Gardens & Arboretum
Glenwhan has been described as a gem in Scotland's crown of beautiful gardens, commanding spectacular views over Luce Bay and the Mull of Galloway. Started in 1979, the picturesque creation was hewn from a hillside covered in bracken and gorse. Two lakes were made by damming up bogs to provide a rich habitat for rare species.
The rocky outcrops are home to a wide variety of alpines, scree plants, heathers and conifers. Winding paths lead through rose arbours to enchanting woodland walks with bluebells, snowdrops and daffodils in spring. Rhododendrons, azaleas and shrub roses nestle together on the whinnie knowes‚ in a blaze of colour. There is also a collection of rare ducks to be discovered.
Glenwhan has featured on the Beechgrove Garden and border Television.
