There is a small formal garden planted with roses, a woodland walk and well spaced picnic tables in a wooded area near the Castle.

The grounds are the haunt of woodpeckers in the summer, sparrowhawks and buzzards are often to be seen, and many waders frequent the banks of the Leader.

The Southern Upland Way stretching from coast to coast runs through part of the parklands, so we get many walkers stopping to admire the castle and picking up refreshment in our Tea Room.
