Ardkinglas Woodland Garden, Gruffalo Trail & Fairy Trail

Ardkinglas is OPEN everyday, all year round.
On the shore at the head of Loch Fyne, set against a spectacular background of mountains and forest, Ardkinglas Woodland Garden has an outstanding collection of plants and trees. The Garden is famous for the mature champion trees (including the "mightiest conifer in Europe") and an exceptional collection of rhododendron. A woodland lochan, an ancient mill, a scriptorium and a very visible and thriving population of red squirrels add to the attraction of the garden.

A visit to Ardkinglas Woodland Garden is a perfect family day out. All the family will enjoy searching for the Gruffalo amongst the trees. Come along and see our fairy houses on our fairy trail. We have a super fun Snakey Slide.

The garden is open all year round dawn to dusk with wonderful displays of colour through the seasons.

The beauty and sense of history in the garden will appeal to all visitors and the plant collection will delight those with a more specialist knowledge.
