Garden of the week

Ardkinglas Estate on the shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll has many immense trees and a dense understory of shrubs and rhododendrons that have grown to huge proportions.

There’s a Gruffalo Trail and a Fairy Trail and on Sunday, October 23, there will be children’s activities with

HaHaHopscotch and the Clydebuilt Puppet Theatre Company. Set against a dramatic mountain background, there are spectacular views across Loch Fyne, while the gardens offer the chance to walk amongst soaring pines and broadleaf trees.
