Rowallane Garden is a National Trust property so, while parking is free, there is a charge for non-members to enter the grounds. Please check the National Trust website for admission charges and opening times. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/rowallane-garden
The caches were placed with the permission of the staff of Rowallane and comply with National Trust guidelines. The Deputy Head Gardener accompanied us and helped us to choose locations for the caches.
Rowallane is an inspirational garden with many unusual features and unique plants from across the world. There are a great variety of plants, colours, sculptures and magical features in one of the most beautiful gardens in Northern Ireland. The garden has grown from the 19th century beginnings of the Rev. John Moore and his nephew Hugh Armytage Moore. Their vision helped create a place where you can leave the outside world behind and immerse yourself in nature’s beauty. The gardens are a mix of formal and informal spaces. The trees, plants and shrubs range in ages, size and colour and create a spectacle throughout the year. Rowallane Garden is ideal for leisurely walks, afternoon teas in the cafe or just simply relaxing on a seat in the walled garden.
