Galloway House Gardens
"A charity-run garden maintained for public enjoyment. Our charitable trust was established in 1987 thanks to the generosity of Edward and Jan Strutt.The history of the garden reaches back to the 18th century when the building of Galloway House began. The house, garden and policies are included in Historic Scotland's Inventory.The most significant periods of horticultural development were around the turn of the 20th century and in particular the 1920s when Neil McEacharn and the precocious talent of Harold Comber were directed at developing the plant collection in the gardens.Neil McEacharn went on to establish the gardens at Villa Tarranto in Italy and Harold Comber continued to carve out a distinguished horticultural career."

It had been raining heavily, so everywhere was rather wet, but these gardens/arboretum were beautiful. Stunning mature trees, paths to wander through and coming out onto a lovely beach full of shells and colourful pebbles. It was a little muddy in places, wellies would be good after rain. Thank you very much to the volunteers who manage the place and to the owners who share this beautiful land with us.
Nice to walk around the woods and access to the beach. Very muddy and swampy in places on the path, we were there in early April. Probably will be fine in summer! . Parking is available and donation asked. We walked from Garlieston round circuit. No access to house. Free to visit gardens.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Unfortunately the walled garden was closed but we had a pleasant walk through the trees to Rigg Bay.Visited onWeekday
Nice semi-wild restoration. Be good to see the walled garden returned to life. Parking could do with some mid time.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Tiny car park, couldn't fit many visitors at once, which is part of this place's appeal I suppose. Beyond the garden is a beautiful beach in a bay.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
I have read some great reviews, however, we were very disappointed. We paid £5 for parking, expecting to stay all day, brought a picnic too....you can't visit the house, there are no flowers/botanical garden in site! The walled garden was closed off. All we passed, on the muddy trail were trees, poisonous, wild rhubarb and stinging nettles! No cafe, no toilet, no picnic bench, basically just a forest!
Garden is well maintained and it is huge. I think the best time to visit is in spring when the many of rhododendrons trees are in full bloom. Beach is great as well. Very peaceful. Parking is payable at £2.25 up to an hour and £5.25 to 8h. I think it would be worth adding something in between like 2-3 hours around £3.
Peaceful gardens leading to the shore. My favourite parts were the rhododendrons and the rope swing with a sea view. There were some other people there but I barely was aware as was so easy to not meet anyone. Car park has a machine to pay. Was £2.25 I think when I went.
The beach here is amazing, get the right weather and you'd think your in the carribean. The gardens are pretty and there is a good walk to be had. Come back in winter with a frost on the ground and it's just as pretty
Great place for a walk with the dogs. Signage is poor, but basically, if you turn left out of the car park after 10 minutes, you are at the coast. And what a fabulous coastline. We'll be back...
