Glenfinart Walled Garden
Contact details
The community purchased this Victorian walled garden in 2012. It's a 2B listed site with a curved corner and a curved east wall. The garden, which was a wilderness when purchased, has been divided into 5 areas:
- an orchard with native apple, pear and plum trees.
- a grassed public area, with small band stand, for events
- a soft fruit and vegetable growing area with raised beds and polytunnel
- a sensory, reflective garden
- a children's garden with willow dome and tunnel, bird hide, bug hotel, strawberry beds and fairy ring.
It is a beautiful, tranquil place for a stroll, a reflective seat in the sensory garden or a picnic. Dogs are welcome on a lead.
