Stromeferry Rock Works - September to November 2018
The joys of road works
I am extremely reluctant to do anything to discourage visitors to the garden, which is full of absolutely wonderful autumn colour at the moment, but I feel that I should warn you that, at certain times of the day, the road near Attadale is subject to closure for netting repairs on the cliffs, which can result in quite long queues. You can find out when the road is open below
and we will put them on this Website.
We am so sorry for this inconvenience, which is obviously totally out with our control. If you do come and visit, we will be extra specially delighted to see you and if you can’t make it, we hope that you will come at a future date – when this has all been completed.
