Cambo Gardens - St Andrews

Simone K

Achtung, es kostet aktuell 7,70 Pfund Eintritt. Egal ob man dort in den Shop will oder nur einen Café trinken möchte.
Dies finde ich sehr abschreckend. Es stand auch groß dran, das es nicht Teil des Five Costal Paths ist.... Dh Wanderer nicht wirklich erwünscht. Leider schade.

Cambo Gardens set within the Cambo Estate should be a must for any visitors to this area.

The gardens are absolutely fantastic with such beautiful planted beds and kitchen gardens. There are so many interesting plants and flowers with an abundance of grasses which sway in the wind. The sound of the wind sweeping through the garden creating movement along with the call of the wild birds was just magic. There are numerous seats and benches situated throughout the garden which were well used by us as we just wanted to sit and take it all in, just beautiful.

We took the walk to the beach returning on a different path , the light and shadows cast through the tree canopy amazing.

A visit to the Stables Visitor centre for refreshments and a look through the shop finished our visit off. The ladies in the coffee shop couldn’t have been nicer and the food was of high standard, thank you.

We will definitely be back for a much longer visit soon.

You could probably spend a week here! Very diverse planting and lots of colour and texture. On a windy day, the swaying grasses were fascinating. Definitely a must-visit if you are in the area.

Beautiful and stunning gardens in a unique placing. Great to visit in summer with the blooms, bees buzzing around, the stream babbling away and find one of the many benches and just relax for a little while.

Lovely cafe that serves really fantastic food. Even the simple toasties were packed with flavour and salads that deserve to be main meals themselves.

We have visited many gardens, but must admit Cambo is one of the best maintained and beautiful. Make sure you have plenty of time to visit, unfortunately we didn't have as much as we wanted. We didn't manage to visit coffee and gift shops. Gardens is absolutely stunning. we visited in mid of September but it was still a lot of going on lots of blooming, beautiful decorative grass, which I absolutely love.

BURN winter event @ Cambo Gardens - first time @ Cambo. This event in the Walled Garden was beautiful; simple but stunning. Well manned with volunteers keeping it all running smoothly and safely. A piper appeared throughout the evening and was very popular.

Once admitted, you could go for a walk in the woods (will have to come back for further exploration!), get down to the beach or spend as much time as you wanted in the woods/garden/greenhouses/cafe/gift shop, etc.

I found the staff & volunteers were all very pleasant, friendly and helpful.

I had soup and fresh bread in the cafe....oh-so-tasty! And very reasonably priced; I was around £8 for soup, 2 slices of homemade bread, plenty of butter and a large tea. Indoor as well as outdoors sitting areas.

Oh and bonus if you've got a dog.... they're allowed everywhere

We'd spent a few days in St Andrews and our visit here was meant to be a short filler before we headed off to the Kingdom of Fife dog show, and we spent ... over 5 hours here!
We've visited a number of gardens over recent years and I can say, hand on heart, that our visit to Cambo was one of the best. The differing aspects of the garden, from a woodland walk, following a stream down to the beach, to the walled garden and its selection of different planting styles was just the embodiment of horticulture scrumptious-ness. We visit Fife annually for the Kingdom of Fife dog show, but we'll be making a point of coming back at a different season to resample Combo's delights. Highly recommended!!

These gardens are so very beautiful. I've been twice at different times of the year and the planting is inspiring. My visit this time gave me ideas for a similar pottager garden, something I had never before thought of. The walk to the beach is lovely and the beach itself presents a great opportunity for a long walk or simply sitting on the rocks contemplating the sea. A firm favourite with me.
