Estate Walks
The Garden and Historical Walk
For those who like historic gardens and are interested in trees and Kelburn’s features of special interest, a short circular walk has been marked out with explanatory signboards placed at appropriate points along the route.
Starting from the signboard above the Centre Buildings, it takes you by the Museum, over Sanham’s Bridge, past the Children’s Garden, the Ice House and on to the Monument. It then leads down the Corkscrew Road, beside the Oak Wood, round to the front of Kelburn Castle and into the Plaisance and other parts of the garden, where many of Kelburn’s most interesting trees and shrubs can be found, before returning back over Sanham’s Bridge.
The whole trip is about a quarter of a mile long.
The Countess Walk and Upper Estate Road
Some of the best views at Kelburn can be had from the Countess Walk, which leads uphill on a gentle incline from the front of the Castle to the Estate Road. From there, you can walk on level ground round the Upper Estate Road and either return by one of the glen paths or carry on to the viewpoint and back to the Centre by the path through the Waterside Field.
This is a picturesque two hour walk, full of variety that gives the visitor a good general impression of Kelburn Estate.
