Puck's Glen

Reviewed By EmmaA512 - Newark-on-Trent, United Kingdom

There are several walks up and down through the forest here, but the walk along the gorge is the highlight! Really great. Recommend using the Argyll Forest Park Map and Trail guide which is free to access online on the Scottish forestry and land website. This also shows where to park and facilities.

An incredible experience from start to finish with breathtaking views over the surrounding hills, islands and lochs. Really fun but also very safe, our instructor David was top class in his role. Would definitely do this activity again and recommend to others. Thanks again from Dale and Louise.

I'd wanted to visit these gardens since seeing them on Gardeners World and they were even better than I'd hoped. Beautiful trees, quiet space, lovely walks, red squirrels, interesting features around the gardens including a restored Victorian fernery on a hillside. Not to be missed.

Just home after a viewing of the stage version of The King and I, and what a lovely afternoon. Very safe environment, lots of social distancing measures, staff lovely and accommodating. Would not hesitate to return and would encourage everyone to go along. So nice to be out for some fun and relaxation during these times. Well done to Studio Cinema and thank you from a local.
