before Stranraer off the A75 and the view is lovely.

Of the gardens visited this is my favourite
garden at this moment.
The garden is 12 acres and in
1979 was covered in bracken and gorse,
it also has a commanding view over
Luce Bay
and Mull of Galloway
The focal point of the garden centres around two small lochan and
with the warm gulf stream allows the growing of exotic plants, a huge
collection of trees and shrubs including eucalyptus, hollies, rhododendrons
, hydrangeas and many other rare shrubs to flourish amongst this maze
of hilly planting.
It is privately owned and the ground is still being cleared in
order to extend the garden for future planting.
It has free parking, dogwalk, but no tree cover if dogs are left in the
car, although guide dogs are allowed in the garden.
Toilets, plant sales area, restaurant (local produce) and the garden
is accessible for wheelchairs
with an energetic person, plus there is seating within the
garden.
