Ardmaddy Castle Gardens




Ardmaddy Castle gardens, in a most spectacular setting, are shielded to the north by mature woodlands, carpeted with bluebells and daffodils and protected from the Atlantic winds by the elevated Castle. The Walled Garden is full of magnificent species and hybrid rhododendrons, some huge, an increasing collection of rare and unusual shrubs and plants, the crevice garden, the 'Clock Garden' with its cutting flowers, fruit and vegetables grown with labour saving formality, all within dwarf box hedges.
There are self catering cottages here sleeping from 4 up to 12 people. The Castle will be available to rent in 2023.
Beyond, a woodland walk, with its amazing hydrangea climbing to 60 feet, leads to the water gardens - in early summer a riot of candelabra primulas, irises, rodgersias and other damp loving plants and grasses.
Lovely autumn colour. A garden for all seasons.
