Self-guided trail

Malleny Garden is an ideal place for relaxation and connecting with nature, and the surrounding woodland is full of wildlife.

The garden holds a National Collection (NCCPG) of 19th-century shrub roses – over 100 different roses are represented. The best time to see them is in June and July.

Wooden benches and stone seats are dotted throughout the garden, so there are plenty of places to sit and take a breather.

Wheelchair access

There are gravel paths throughout the garden, which is level in the top half but gently sloping in the bottom half, so assistance may be required.
