“Visitors could easily believe that they have stumbled into a private garden when they enter the ten acre expanse of Geilston Garden. The calm and peace that surrounds it will come as a pleasant surprise. The walled garden is alive with amazing bursts of colour and the delicate and beautiful herbaceous and mixed shrub borders are an impressive sight, especially in the summer. A giant Sierra Redwood tree dominates the centre lawn. At 100 feet tall, this ornamental example of the world’s biggest tree species is diminutive compared to its North American equivalent, which has been known to reach over 300 feet tall! Back down to earth, and visitors can enjoy the magical woodland garden, and a stroll beside the Geilston Burn and waterfall. The beautiful kitchen garden supplies a range of freshly picked fruit and vegetables, including carrots, parsnips and beets which can be bought as an edible souvenir. Although it was first developed over two-hundred years ago, the garden has only been open to visitors since 1998. It is clearly tended with great skill and devotion. ”

“Brilliant information, have used several of the pubs and visited many of the properties. Some that
I didn’t
know were so close to home. Keep up the good work.”
Steve, UK
“Thanks very much for your help. Gone out and got a 1Gb card and all is now loaded. One way of rating a company is the back up support and you score 10/10 .”
Graham, London
“The content is good and the level of detail about right, enough to pique your interest but not so much
that you feel you're attending a lecture.”
Sam, Manchester
“I've used the programme a few times now on my travels and it does add a good deal of value
to a journey so I'm very happy with my purchase.”
John, UK
“The Audio commentary on the Garmin was well narrated and definitely had the feel of the audio
guides you get when you are walking around the landmarks themselves”.
Linda, New Jersey
“Finding atmospheric pubs with good food is always a challenge when you don't know the area and
can be stressful when you're hungry and tired!!”
David, Essex
“Road Tour has found us some great pubs which have made our journeys all the more enjoyable. Every place
it's suggested has been a winner.”
Nikki, Cambridgeshire'
“The heritage commentary is really informative and entertaining – it’s great to discover
the background to the brown tourist signs we normally whizz by on the motorway.”
Michael, Reading
“This is the perfect thing for history buffs - RoadTour really brings boring car journeys to life.”
Guy,
London
“It doesn't intrude on the journey it complements it with just enough information if you
are not stopping at the attraction.”
Robin, Scotland
