Explore Cairndow from The Galley of Lorne Inn

Cairndow (50 miles from Ardfern)

ARDKINGLAS WOODLAND GARDEN is set on a hillside overlooking Loch Fyne and contains one of the finest collections of Conifers in the British Isles including many Champion Trees. These include the “Mightiest Conifer in Europe” dating back to 1750, Abies alba, a monstrous Silver Fir with a girth in excess of 31 feet (9.6m) which was selected as one of 50 Great British Trees to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee.

The Garden can be enjoyed through all the seasons but the most spectacular time is in spring and early summer when the bluebell carpet and extensive collection of Rhododendrons and Azaleas elevate the garden into a riotous display of colour. It is a garden that can be enjoyed both by the plant enthusiast and those wanting a peaceful woodland walk.

There is also a Woodland Lochan and a Gazebo which houses a unique "Scriptorium", somewhere to sit and enjoy the view whilst contemplating the quotes. Car park, picnic area, plant & gift sales and toilet facilities are available at the Garden whilst refreshments are available at the Tree Shop nearby.
