Only facilities we’ve confirmed are listed — anything missing here we simply haven’t checked, rather than know to be absent.
Cawdor Castle is a traditional Scottish castle built and inhabited by the Cawdor family for over 600 years, with an ancient medieval tower constructed around a legendary holly tree. The grounds include three distinctly different gardens, each with their own history that generations of owners have transformed and extended. You can visit Cawdor Big Wood, an ancient oakwood with nature trails, play on a 9-hole golf course, or eat in the Courtyard Café serving freshly prepared, homegrown and local produce.
Open Saturday 25th April to Sunday 4th October 2026, 10am to 5pm daily
