Threave Garden & Estate
Recommended by
Overview
Covering around 1,600 acres, the estate is split into four parts: a house, gardens, sculpture garden and nature reserve. The best time to visit is in spring when there is a dazzling display of daffodils. The garden is a delight in all seasons, however, and is home to the National Trust for Scotland's School of Practical Gardening. The nature reserve is great for spotting wildfowl and other animals, particularly bats.

About the area
Dumfries and Galloway is a wonderfully undiscovered corner of Scotland – a romantic land of wooded glens, high hills and exposed moorland, haunted by its colourful past and the ghosts of those who fell in fierce and bloody battles. Heading west from Gretna Green you soon reach Dumfries, straddling the River Nith, where you may see red-breasted mergansers in summer.
