The Castle Kennedy Gardens, just five miles east of Stranraer and covering 75 acres, are world famous for rhododendrons, azaleas and embothriums. The landscaped gardens of terraces and avenues are laid out around a circular lily pond. The terraces and embankments were built mostly in the 18th century and many of the avenues contain specimen trees grown from original seed brought to this country at least 50 years ago. The Monkey-Puzzle Avenue is supposed to be unique in size and is thought to be at least 100 years old.
