Benmore Botanic Garden, Dunoon – A Forest of Giants and Calm

#hellohalloween Benmore Botanic Garden is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places we’ve ever visited. Tucked in the hills near Dunoon, it feels like stepping into another world — towering redwoods, trickling streams, and endless paths winding through lush green landscapes. We walked beneath massive trees that made us feel tiny, crossed little stone bridges, and paused often just to listen to the sound of birds and running water. The Avenue of Giant Redwoods near the entrance is breathtaking — straight, tall, and awe-inspiring — but every trail leads somewhere new and equally magical. The avenue was closed when we visited, you couldn’t walk on it but you oxide still admire it. There are benches and viewpoints scattered throughout, perfect for picnics or quiet breaks, and the small café at the entrance is lovely for a warm drink after exploring, though my kids opted for ice-cream. Peaceful, wild, and full of wonder — Benmore Botanic Garden is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and beautiful walks. #dunoon
