Dunoon, United Kingdom Botanical garden
One of the Best Places To Visits in Sandhaven Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Gorgeous gardens full of amazing trees, ferns and other plants. Huge area covered (some closed off due to storm damage) and paths wind in and out everywhere. Think you’d need a fair few trips to explore all of it. Nice cafe, gift shop and a pizza van that does the absolute best pizza!! Definitely worth a visit and we’ll be back I was the only one for the guided walk so i had a one to one, i thought it may have been cancelled. The light rain aside i had a very good walk and guide. Benmore Botanic Garden is one of the most and peaceful places we’ve ever visited. Tucked in the hills near Dunoon, it feels like stepping into another world — towering redwoods, trickling streams, and endless paths winding through lush green landscapes. We walked beneath massive trees that made us feel tiny, crossed little stone bridges, and paused often just to listen to the sound of birds and running water. The Avenue of Giant Redwoods near the entrance is breathtaking — straight, tall, and awe-inspiring — but every trail leads somewhere new and equally magical. It was actually closed to walk on when we went, but you can still admire it! There are benches and viewpoints scattered throughout, perfect for picnics or quiet breaks, and the small café at the entrance is lovely for a warm drink after exploring, though our kids opted for ice cream. Peaceful, wild, and full of wonder — Benmore Botanic Garden is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and walks. Absolutely place. There are new things to see round every corner. I was glad to follow the orange route, which was mostly flat and easily accessible. The food in the cafe was delicious. We had the grilled ham and cheese sandwich and the BLT wrap. We arrived before it opened, so parking was easy. It appeared that people may have had more difficulty parking later on as the carpark was full. I would very much recommend this place. We couldn't stop saying 'wow' at the views. Fabulous gardens with some brilliant views, over 3 miles of walking was done around the grounds! Great that it's dog friendly too. Excellent cafe for lunch, highly recommend the Highlander Burger! I had a wonderful time visiting Benmore Botanical Garden. The setting is absolutely stunning, with a wide variety of trails perfect for hiking and exploring. The grounds were spotless, with no litter anywhere, which really added to the sense of being surrounded by unspoiled beauty. The gardens themselves are breathtaking, with so much to see and enjoy, whether you’re wandering through towering redwoods, exploring quiet pathways, or simply taking in the incredible views. There’s also a small café and shop on site, both of which were welcoming and provided a nice place to pause and refresh during the visit. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend Benmore Botanical Garden to anyone who enjoys nature, peaceful walks, and scenery. Absolutely place devided for gardens from different parts of the world. Lot's of paths to walk. Lovely shop and cafe. Will definitely be back there again. Had a lovely day at Benmore. Large areas of the park are closed due to storm damage currently but there's still lots to see. The cafe also does phenomenal burgers for reasonable prices.
