ALL YOU CAN IMAGINE AND MORE

The exclusive Manor Park is located close to Dunoon, the western gateway to Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. This region which forms part of the unspoilt Cowal Peninsula retains a unique Scottish identity that is reflected in its towns and villages, its arts and crafts and the various events which take place in the area each year.

The nearby Loch Lomond, the largest expanse of fresh water in Great Britain is the romantic centre piece of the national park and an experience which you will want to relive time and time again. Those who enjoy the outdoors are spoilt for choice. Right on your doorstep you'll find lochs, glens, sea, mountains and forests in abundance - the perfect setting for a gentle stroll, bike ride or adventurous hike.

Dunoon is home to the famous Cowal Highland Gathering, the largest highland games in the world. Every August the area plays host to this spectacular event, a perfect example of the strong Scottish traditions upheld by the area. The town is home to a wide array of craft shops and museums where you can browse to your heart's content. The local cafes offer the ideal setting in which to relax and admire the stunning surrounding landscape.

The region has a strong heritage and reminders of its colourful past can be seen all around. The remains of the 12th century Dunoon Castle take you back to a time when lords and ladies graced the land. Mary Queen of Scots is said to have stayed at the castle on her frequent visits to the area.

There are plenty of activities to keep you entertained including a visit to the Younger Botanical Gardens where you can explore the world famous collection of trees and shrubs, and take a walk down the Avenue of Giant Redwoods which can measure over 40 meters in height. On a pleasant day a pleasure cruise along the Firth of Forth is one of the best ways to enjoy this striking part of the country.

In just under an hour you could be enjoying yourself in the beautiful city of Glasgow, an altogether different experience where traditional and modern styles have been brought together with great effect.
