Had an afternoon there with the family and grandchildren. Easy parking, friendly staff, extremely good value for money £27 for all 6 of us. We all thoroughly enjoyed the interesting woodland and connection with nature. Lots of information and well maintained paths. One granddaughter stated that "nature is beautiful " and the other said that it beats the ipad any day!

What a hidden gem this place is and not expensive, we enjoyed our visit a good way to spend a couple of hours. I was particularly impressed by the amazing trees they have there and we got to see some red squirrels. Would certainly visit again

Amazing place for a day out! Themed walks for children, and longer, scenic ones for the more adventurous! Stunning views, the tallest of trees and a beautifully kept woodland paradise to explore. The PERFECT day out.

This is an unbelievable place. Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking scenery around every bend. The best value for money attraction I've ever been to. Wish I lived closer as I'd be there every day if I could be! Saw red squirrels and tree creepers amongst others. The gardening team were friendly and cheerful. I cannot recommend this garden enough! For nature lovers, ornithologists and gardeners this is a must see location. Highly recommend visiting in the off season like I have as we only saw a handful of other people.

Neighbours recommended the Gruffalo Trail for the visit of two granddaughters aged 8 and 5. Well marked path with good surface for small and larger feet. Good displays of sections of the story with relevant pages from the Glaswegian edition of the Gruffalo. And the Fairy Trail on the way back to the car park was an unexpected bonus. Not to mention the enormous trees! A lovely short woodland walk for an afternoon much enjoyed by the girls.
