Claymoddie Garden
Claymoddie Garden & Galloway Plants in Whithorn, 15 miles from Bladoch, has been described as “the most romantic garden” in this part of Scotland and, despite the endless process of development necessary to keep any garden fresh and interesting, has an air of timelessness and intimacy.
Aldouran Garden
Aldouran Wetland Habitat and bird hide can be found on the edge of Leswalt village, adjacent to Aldouran Glen Woodland and bounded by the Aldouran Burn.
Aldouran Glen Wood, owned and managed by the Woodland Trust Scotland, is one of only a handful of "Ancient semi natural woods" left on the Rhins peninsula.
Glenwhan Gardens
Glenwhan Gardens, 20 minutes from the Bladnoch Inn, is certainly a garden for all seasons with an incredible diversity of plants.
It has taken 20 years of hard work by Tessa and Bill to produce this garden of outstanding character and it is a joy to visit. Perhaps the statue of the Florentine Medici Boar - it is a symbol of fertility - in the centre of the garden has helped.
The landscape has certainly been transformed; just look over the boundary fence to see what they have already achieved!
Threave Gardens
Threave Gardens, 40 minutes from the Bladnoch Inn, is famous for its spectacular gardens, beautiful house and superb visitor centre.
Run by the National Trust for Scotland, Threave Gardens is a 64-acre ornamental garden with a large and varied plant collection and landscape features. The house itself is open to the public and the estate has way marked trails, bird hides, and a wild fowl sanctuary.
Castle Kennedy
Castle Kennedy & Gardens, a part of Stair Estates, is 25 minutes drive from the Bladnoch Inn.
This area of Wigtownshire is surrounded on three sides by the sea, and the influence of the Gulf Stream provides a micro climate not found in many other parts of the United Kingdom.
The gardens are extensively landscaped with terraces, mounds and avenues, and extend to more than 30 hectares.
Logan Botanic Gardens
At the south-western tip of Scotland lies Logan Botanic Gardens, the country’s most exotic garden. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, southern hemisphere plants flourish in this plantsman’s paradise.
Gardens & Nurseries
The area has a wide choice of beautiful public gardens and nurseries open to the public.
From the tropical botanic gardens in Port Logan to the romance of Claymoddie Garden at Whithorn, there is something for everyone within a short drive of the Bladnoch Inn.
