Achnacloich House gardens

The gardens in autumn

Loch Etive

You need to get as far away from the road noise as you can, best by the Abbots Isles from where it is also easiest to get up to Achnacloich Gardens (strike up behind the boathouse and you will come to a little used zigzag path which leads up to the house and gardens). The house itself is rather dull Victorian Gothic but the woodland gardens are delightful, if less than immaculately looked after. There is also a walled kitchen garden where you are warned to 'beware of the bees'. There are some tremendous trees here, Scots Pine and a nearly 200 year old Douglas Fir just by the house. There are some nice lookouts over Loch Etive, with seats. Beware the house is privately owned so don't crash around in the gardens when they are closed (after 6pm ph 01631 710221).
