This wonderful coastal garden forms a horticultural tour around the temperate world with a collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, Blue Tibetab poppies, giant Himalayan lilies and Chatham Island forget-me-nots.

Arduaine Garden is a tranquil green oasis on the south slope of the Arduaine peninsula on the West Coast, south of Oban, with something to see every day of the year.

After leaving Arduaine, the tour moves south to the village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne. This busy little fishing port has a lot to attract visitors not least of which is the stunning scenery the quirky art galleries and numerous restaurants.
