Glenericht House
Nestled alongside the River Ericht, Glenericht House Gardens are a beautiful woodland spot boasting 92 tree varieties! With beautiful beech trees that span the entire driveway on the entrance to the gardens, the setting is spectacular and it’s the perfect place for a walk in amongst some of Perthshire’s finest woodland!
Close to Bridge of Cally, you will find Glenericht House Gardens – a beautiful and scenic woodland garden with an array of enormous trees in many different varieties. Crane your neck skywards as you look up to the top of the trees in one of Perthshire’s most magnificent woodlands!
With a stunning grade ‘A’ listed suspension bridge spanning the river, the scenery is awe-inspiring and quite unique. In the gardens, you will find an abundance of impressive trees.
The woodland walk is absolutely lovely and you will be able to spot the Victorian planted trees and shrubs along the way. It is tucked away covered by the tall trees meaning you will find a peaceful and tranquil spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
Of the 92 different tree varieties, most are conifers and you will be astounded by the height of the top Douglas fir – which stands at 171 feet and still growing! It truly is a sight to behold!
In May, just before the summer gets into full swing, you will be able to view the bright and colourful daffodils and the rhododendrons in flower. A peaceful woodland getaway, the Glenericht House Gardens are ideal for keen gardeners and members of the public alike.
