Dawyck Botanic Garden

Wonderful place, beautiful gardens and scenery all around. A very good cafe and plenty of space outside to have your own picnic. The bluebells are blooming and in another 3 weeks the rhododendrons will be blossoming too. Plenty of parking and wheelchair friendly.

A stunning Botanical Gardens just outside of Peebles. A huge variety of trees and other flora. Darwyck boasts some unique and rare Lichens accounting for around quarter of all lichens found in Europe. It has a rich history with ties to North America of which you can find out more during your time at the gardens. There is some opportunity to see wildlife depending on the time of year. Accessibility is fairly easy once at the Gardens, there is a tearoom, shop and museum with some good facilities. The Gardens have various pathways all mapped out so it's easy to navigate but it's mostly up or down hill. Staff were very friendly and the tickets were fairly cheap with concession options. Highly recommend to visit, we travelled from Edinburgh by car, and a lovely day out had by all our party.
