Glenavon Japanese Garden

FacebookTwitterWhatsApp

This one acre garden, created over 14 years, on the challenging clay Macemore soil, depicts the four seasons and is centred round a beautifully recreated Japanese pavilion. Stone lanterns, statues and other features accentuate this theme and a Liquidambar walk flanks one of the perimeters. There is also a craft shop.
