Located in a mountainous landscape on the Cowal Peninsula, Benmore is famous for its extensive range of trees and shrubs, including hundreds of rhododendron species and a fine collection of conifers. Most impressive is the spectacular avenue of Giant Redwoods, planted in 1863. Established over 100 years ago as a kitchen garden, Logan retains its traditional walled design, and today contains a wide array of southern hemisphere plants. The climate here is exceptionally mild, providing the ideal environment for plants such as tree ferns, cabbage palms and other unusual sub-tropical plants. A large collection of impressive mature trees provides a fine setting for a variety of flowering trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants.
Burnside walks pass through mature woodland rich in wildlife.
