Kelburn Castle & Country Centre |
||||||||||
|
The family home of the Earls of Glasgow, Kelburn Castle has long been an inspiration for adults and a paradise for children. Still lived in by the present Earl and his family, Kelburn Castle, dating back to the 13th Century provides an exotic background to exotic gardens, famous trees and many features of historical interest.
Kelburn's romantic Glen, regarded as one of 
Scotland's most beautiful natural woodlands has a network of pathways and footbridges, leading you upwards past waterfalls and deep gorges to spectacular views over the islands of the Firth of Clyde.
Relax in the courtyard of the old home farm and enjoy an excellent range of hot and cold meals. Visit the gift shop and the family museum and Don Aldridge's 
entertaining cartoon exhibition which tells the story of Kelburn's history.
Younger children will have hours of fun in the Adventure Playground, the Wooden Stockade, Pets Corner, Falconry Center, Pottery Craft Shop and Indoor Play Area. Every visitor must take time to explore Scotland's most unusual and magical attraction: The Secret Forest.
