Ardgartan Hotel 4 Day Spring Break
First Day
Arrive at the Ardgartan Hotel in time for dinner.
Cruise on Loch Lomond then visit Inveraray
Visit the ‘Queen of the Scottish Lakes’ and explore the famous bonnie banks. Loch Lomond lies in a national park and is an area of outstanding natural beauty. There is a host of wildlife, plenty of stunning views and many activities in and around the national park. Cruise on Loch Lomond to fully appreciate the landscape and to learn about the turbulent history before travelling west towards stunning Lochawe and Inveraray. Overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is the most iconic town in Argyll. This pretty town was founded in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the infamous Clan Campbell. Inveraray is a classic example of an 18th century planned town and the Georgian architecture remains unspoilt. There is plenty to do and see in the town and a visit to the neo-Classical church and Inveraray jail are a must.
Dunoon and entry into Benmore Gardens
Sitting on the Firth of the River Clyde, Dunoon is a traditional seaside resort on the west coast. Stroll along the Victorian promenade and grand pier or walk up to the historic Castle Mound for panoramic views of the beautiful Cowal Peninsula before exploring magnificent Benmore gardens. Enjoy 120 acres of peaceful serenity as you explore the world-famous collection of plants from the Orient, the Himilaya and South America. Visit the beautiful Victorian Fernery, the Garden’s fully restored Golden Gates, and the Bhutanese and Chilean pavilions. Wander through the avenue of 150 year old giant redwoods and explore the magnificent viewpoints. The exotic blend of traditional and foreign delights make Benmore Gardens a unique experience for any visitor.
