About
Arduaine Garden is a sheltered coastal garden filled with rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, tree ferns and plants from around the world. Paths range from gentle lower-garden walks to a coastal viewpoint over the Sound of Jura, giving visitors anything from a short stroll to a couple of hours of exploration.
Who it suits
Campervan practical note
The garden has free parking at the entrance. Use the formal car park and check that your vehicle fits the available bay rather than using the A816 verge.
Local support & visitor value
Admission supports National Trust for Scotland conservation, while the adjacent Loch Melfort Hotel gives visitors a nearby food option without moving far along the road.
Parking notes
Free visitor parking is provided at the garden entrance, including an accessible space. Use the formal car park and avoid roadside/verge parking on the A816.
Responsible travel
Use the formal car park, keep dogs on short leads and follow any temporary diversions around timber-clearance or restoration work.
Please use designated parking, avoid blocking roads or passing places, respect local communities, and check current conditions before travelling.
