Welcome

It has been our family’s honour to create, restore and care for one of Scotland’s hidden treasures for almost 300 years. These important historical Gardens, situated on an isthmus, consist of 300ha (75 acres) of sculptured landscapes, and magnificent avenues radiating out from the iconic Castle Kennedy ruins. Described as ‘one of the showpieces of Galloway’, it is one of Scotland's most important historical landscaped gardens with its collection of Rhododendrons, Championship Trees and rare species.

The Gardens are perfect for exploring and provides a fun day out for families, with a charming Tea Room, Gift Shop and Plant Centre.

We warmly welcome you to the Gardens and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Castle Kennedy Gardens

Dahlias are bringing a beautiful burst of colour to the Gardens at the moment, with their striking flowers making them hard to walk past without stopping for a closer look. This beautiful Dahlia is 'Sissinghurst'. It was bred for gardener and writer Sarah Raven, and its name was inspired by the richness of Vita Sackville West's Sissinghurst interiors and garden roses.

One of the things that makes dahlias so special is their incredible variety. Their flowers range from simple, open blooms to intricate pompons, and some can reach up to 30cm across. Dahlias are brilliant late-season performers too, flowering from summer well into autumn. So now is the perfect time to come and see them for yourself.

Come and enjoy them as part of an autumn walk through Castle Kennedy Gardens, then round off your visit with a well-earned slice of cake in the Tea Room. 🍰
