Within the attractive grounds of Kilmory Castle, centre of administration of Argyll and Bute Council lies Kilmory Woodland Park. William J Hooker, Professor of Botany at the University of Glasgow and later Director of Kew Gardens, is reputed to have laid out the grounds about the year 1830 and to have provided many of the exotic shrubs and plants that flourished there.
In 1974 Argyll and Bute Council acquired the House and grounds. The garden still retains many rare trees and shrubs, including fine rhododendrons. Kilmory Woodland Park offers a network of woodland walks linking a lochside picnic area, bird hide, superb viewpoints and archaeological sites.
