Situated on the shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll, against a spectacular background of mountain and forest, Ardkinglas Estate covers about 4800 hectares.
Ardkinglas Woodland Garden is an arboretum including champion trees and a renowned collection of rhododendrons and azaleas - particularly suitable for visiting May and June when in full flower, but worth a visit at any time of year.
With dramatic views over Loch Fyne, the garden is on several levels, featuring various terrains to suit a range of abilities and preferences. Partially wheelchair and pram-friendly, steep in places.
The Gruffalo & Fairy Trail is a must-visit for all. We have just installed a slide into the woodland garden. Come and have a go!
Open all year round, dawn to dusk.
Entrance fees apply at all times.
Admission: £5 per adult, £2.50 per child (4-16 years old), and under 3s are free.
All money placed into the wishing well by the Fairy Trail goes to a different local charity every 3 months.
Season tickets are available for an annual cost of £20, allowing unlimited visits to the Woodland Garden throughout the year.
All admission goes directly to maintaining and caring for this wonderful woodland, featuring a collection of trees and plants, which Ardkinglas Estate manages for the benefit of our visitors and community.
