GLENS AND GARDENS
The Grounds have much to offer and why not look for some of our special features while you enjoy a walk in the great outdoors. Kelburn is famous for its many unusual trees and the 1000 year old Yews and the Weeping Larch have been recognised by the Forestry Commission as two of the 100 most important ‘heritage’ trees in Scotland.
TRAILS AND WALKS
Kelburn is a natural attraction and hosts a wonderful coastal woodland. The castle is situated on the side of a beautiful glen and has unrivalled views over the Clyde estuary and islands. Enjoy both the views and features of the glen as you explore our network of trails. Make sure you include the short path to the waterfall, where you can appreciate the waters force over the centuries.
THE CASTLE
The Castle is still the private home of Earl of Glasgow and his family. Due to this reason, the Castle is only open for tours on set dates in the Summer at an additional cost. Our Castle opening times are available here:
