Open seasonally, this walled garden established in 1797 has a playground, pathways & a floral maze.
One of the most beautiful gardens I've visited. While it's not as huge as some estates each part has a certain character and charm. With a lush kitchen garden and small orchard, fairytale Glen with rush river and flowers, river walk with three waterfalls, walled garden and green house - it's a paradise for nature lovers. Lovely views out towards the loch as well, decent coffee and welcome staff. Can't wait to come back.
Lovely gardens with a wide range of flowering plants, shrubs, vegetables and fruits. Gardens looked well kept, and had separate kitchen and walled garden areas. A woodland walk is also available, but we didn't do that so cannot comment. Quite tranquil when we visited, and lots of benches and picnic tables scattered around. The house on the property isn't open to the public. Definitely worth a visit!!
These gardens are stunning, love them. The kitchen garden and the walled garden are my favourite parts. Very well kept and a beautiful place to visit.
Beautiful garden! Really worth visiting! It's probably even more stunning in May to September! I highly recommend visiting if you need a break to walk around nature and relax. Just a 15 minute walk from Cardross train station!
New nothing about this site prior to arrival. Signposted was lacking if coming from Helensburgh in particular. Site is relatively small , but visiting in may the colours were spectacular. No cafe on site themough there was a volunteer charity day the day we visited supplying drinks and cakes. Site is free to national trust England members
Starting at the entrance avenue of lime Trees this is one of the lushest greenest places i have ever seen. Nestled between Cardross and Helensburgh, Geilston is a labyrinth of nooks and crannies with a deep glen through which runs Geilston Burn. Accent is not so much on flowers but on greenery. It is also tree heaven for someone like me, a secret tree hugger At least you get some warmth back from a tree. About 3 hours is needed to explore the wonders of this amazing place Auld guys and gals get in for PS6.50. There is no tearoom but today had some events running and tea, coffee and home baking were available in the walled garden terrace at good prices. Not sunny today but this increased the velvet green look of the forest walks. Originally a 14th century farm, the whole area has changed hands several times. A place of peace, tranquility and visual delights. Less than an hour from the Circus of Chaos. Later we retired to Ardencaple House Rhu for Sunday Roast Dinner
