Langley Park Gardens

Sightseeing attraction | Montrose | Scotland | United Kingdom

Langley Park Gardens is an impressive garden estate near Montrose, Scotland. The gardens are located on the grounds of the historic Langley Park House, a Georgian mansion from the early 18th century, and offer visitors a diverse mix of formal gardens, wildflower meadows, and ancient tree stands.

The Walled Gardens
At the heart of the estate are four walled gardens that span nearly three hectares. These gardens are known for their magnificent herbaceous borders and a traditional kitchen garden. The walls provide protection and create a microclimate that allows a variety of plants to thrive. The carefully designed beds showcase an impressive display of colors during the blooming season and attract numerous pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Wildflower Meadow and Nature Trails
Adjacent to the formal gardens is a 20-hectare wildflower meadow. Mown paths lead through this meadow, guiding visitors to various points of interest, including a wildlife pond and a standing stone. These areas are habitat for a variety of wildlife and provide opportunities for birdwatching and enjoying the natural beauty of the Scottish landscape.

Historical Significance and Restoration
Langley Park House and its gardens were uninhabited and gradually deteriorating for many years. In 2001, extensive restoration work began to restore the gardens and the estate. Today, the gardens are a testament to the successful revival of historic landscapes, providing both locals and visitors with a place of peace and relaxation.

Visitor Experience
A stroll through Langley Park Gardens offers a diverse experience. The combination of formal plantings, open meadows, and historical elements creates a unique atmosphere. The elevated positions of the estate also allow for sweeping views of the Montrose Basin and the surrounding landscape, making the visit a special experience.

The gardens are an example of the harmonious connection between cultural history and natural beauty, inviting visitors to discover the diversity of Scottish garden art.

Lovely owners made us feel very welcome. Gardens are absolutely beautiful with views over to Montrose. Well worth a visit

Lovely set of walled gardens with some historic orchard trees but largely new planting from the current owners, and a pleasant walk round the meadow and lake. The big round fish pond in front of the house (where tea and cake was served - yum yum) was a highlight for the children who loved being invited to help feed the fish! Thank you for a lovely afternoon out.

Great way to spend a couple of hours with your wife, dog and camera. Owners are very friendly and make a great cup of coffee and a cake.

It’s a rare privilege to visit a garden that is being brought back to life by passionate owners who are creating a space that is both beautiful and restful. The garden is not “finished” (I’m not sure that it ever will be) but whilst you’re there you are part of that journey and we will certainly visit again. The owners are really good company and the tea and cakes are outstanding.

Fantastic gardens, would fully recommend a visit. We spent an afternoon there with young kids and still didn't manage to see everything but had a great time. The owners are very friendly and the homemade cakes are not to be missed!

Well worth a visit. There is also a bbc podcast on Scotland Outdoors - Langley Park House and Gardens which is very interesting.

Marvelous place. Restful. Well tended, and a delight to the eyes. The staff are welcoming. A real family atmosphere. We'll worth another visit.

Delightful surprise. Ongoing restoration already at very good standard. 3 walled gardens and wildflower meadow. Owners very welcoming. Recent history of house (no access) and garden is fascinating - a real labour of love - am sure will go from strength to strength. Well worth a visit for keen gardeners and even just a chill out hour in beautiful surroundings. No refreshment facilities but we brought our own and sat on a bench overlooking the wildflower meadow with distant views of the nature reserve basin. Lovely calm atmosphere. Will Def call again when in the area.

Loved it. Nice gardens. Nice views. Friendly owners. Was made to feel like a guest and a friend rather than just a visitor. And some of the admission goes to charity too.

Fantastic unexpected find, after visiting a nearby national trust property we spotted the sign so went to investigate, and wow, what a lovely spot, beautiful walled gardens that had much more to offer than that of the nearby national trust

Absolutely lovely place to visit for the day. Really lovely owner, couldn't have been any nicer to us. The children had a great time here. The gardens here are beautiful, so many beautiful sites to look at. If you love animals, plants, walking, insects or just nature in general like we do, then you'll enjoy visiting these gardens. Would be a great place for a picnic. The pond/water fountain is full of fish, really amused the children looking at them all. There's a toilet and plenty of parking, just remember to take a drink, you'll need it if you plan on walking around the entire place twice like we did.

Lovely place and owners. We felt like in the tale of the Red Riding Hood.....all the wild animals we spotted and red squirrels.....Thank you!

These gardens are truly spectacular. Formal walled gardens with all kinds of shrubs, perennials, bulbs etc in wonderful borders and displays. There are also lawns with ample room for picnics or just resting and enjoying views over Montrose basin. Not to be outdone, there are wild flower meadows too with ample walkways. Also, if monoliths are of interest, there is a fine example here. If you want to holiday here, there is also a fantastic holiday let. Whilst there, we heard Stock Doves and were informed that Red Squirrels often visit. I much preferred this area compared to the NT place further along the road!

What a lovely place, and a fantastic secret garden. Really tranquil. Owners are lovely and worked really hard to convert this house and gardens as the place was left to ruin by previous owners. Well worth the visit and 10% of the price goes to MS charity.

A labour of love & ingenuity by Philip & Marianne. A beautiful peaceful oasis in a series of restored walled gardens dating back to 18th century. Also well worth a visit for abundant wild life - rich variety of birds, red squirrels etc. At £5 per adult - amazing value.

Outstanding gardens and a very warm and informative welcome from your host. Langley Park Gardens are a hidden gem of a place just north of Montrose basin and beside the House of Dun. Blessed with 4 south facing inter-linked walled gardens in an enchanting setting, and an enormous wild flower meadow, it is an enchanting place to spend an hour or two.

Marianne and Philip, we adored walking around the tracks that you mowed in your wild meddow, then around the organised walled in garden. We loved seeing your loose guinea fowl, my JRT was on a lead of course but she sure was thrilled to see the guinea fowl walking and flying around 😆 Along with the rabbits that also crossed our paths, a grouse and a squirrel also shot by, all very thrilling! Thank you for chatting to us so fully, you made the visit so much more enriching. Thank you for your info and for feeding the fish just for our entertainment. The teenage girl with me was most impressed with her first sight of Koi fish, and what whoppers they are too. Loved your tale of feeding peanut butter sandwiches to the foxes so they keep their chops off your guinea fowl.
