Glenwhan Garden has been described as “one of the best newly created gardens in recent times”. Thirty years ago there was nothing but bracken, gorse and willows but careful planting has created a 12 acre garden filled with glorious collections of plants from around the world. There is colour in all seasons and the winding paths, well placed seats, sculptures and water all add to the tranquil atmosphere. There is a 17 acre moorland wildflower walk, the chance to see red squirrels and magnificent views over Luce Bay, the Mull of Galloway and the Isle of Man. A new tree trail has been collated this year and our Tea-Room is under new management serving delicious home-cooked lunches and teas. Adjoining it you will find a well stocked plant centre for you to browse, and we have a range of plant-propagation courses and events lined up throughout the season. We very much look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful corner of Galloway!
