Map of this area

Dunoon, Argyll.

Located in a mountainous landscape on the Cowal Peninsula, Benmore is famous for its extensive range of trees and shrubs, including hundreds of rhododendron species and a fine collection of conifers. Most impressive is the spectacular avenue of Giant Redwoods, planted in 1863.
Dawn redwoods and eucalyptuses line forest paths near Loch Eck. Avenue of 130ft Wellingtonias leads to grounds of Benmore House and botanic garden.
