Near Kingsbarns in Fife is Cambo’s 2.5-acre Victorian walled garden, which features constantly evolving, magnificent herbaceous borders featuring rare and unusual plants and a fast-flowing stream. The garden is also renowned for its tulips and stunning rose collection. An inspiring Winter Garden and North American Prairie are just outside the main garden. Or you can explore the Woodland walks that lead to the sea. Entry to the gardens is £7.95. After exploring the walled garden and Woodland, we will gather at the Cambo Gardens café, which serves vegetarian and vegan friendly food or a catch-up of the day.

The menu includes a choice of soups, filled sandwiches, a range of salads and sweet treats.
