The Mountain Garden & Coire Cas Viewpoint

Visit the wild Mountain Garden at Cairngorm Mountain.

The original mountain garden was created by Ben Humble MBE back in the 1960s.

In 2001 the original garden was given a new lease of life and the area enlarged.

The garden sits at 650m above sea level and is, we believe, one of the highest tended gardens in the UK.

Located just above the Coire Cas car park it is home to some of the rarest plant species in the UK.

The garden showcases the plants found in the surrounding mountains and to see similar habitats you would have to travel over two thousand miles north to Arctic Norway.

In the garden you'll find a beautiful viewpoint together with camera obscura and the UKs highest phone box.
