Formal terraced gardens, a Victorian walled garden and a wooded den offer a long season of colour, in a relaxing and beautiful setting. The nature reserve beyond is a great place to spot migratory wading birds and wildfowl. Roll back the centuries on a visit to the elegant Georgian House of Dun, in Angus, overlooking the Montrose Basin Nature Reserve. Formal terraced gardens, a Victorian walled garden and a wooded den offer a long season of colour, in a relaxing and beautiful setting. Take a stroll in the Den of Dun – a narrow gorge where cascades and waterfalls flow down past the castle ruins. It’s not uncommon to see roe deer, red squirrels and even otters along the way. The basin itself features vast gull-marked mudflats, which stretch to the sea. During winter, tens of thousands of pink-footed geese arrive en route from the Arctic. Before setting off, always check the garden’s website or call direct for up-to-date opening times and other ticket price options, and any one-off restrictions which may apply. Always take your 2-for-1 Gardens card with you. If you’ve pre-booked your tickets under the 2-for-1 Gardens offer, show your card on the day to validate the booking. Please don’t make multiple pre-bookings or share your 2-for-1 Gardens card – card misuse will invalidate your discount claim at the garden.Check before you travel
