Description:
This relatively sheltered garden (by Orkney standards!), centrally placed within the village of St. Margaret’s Hope, has a wonderful, established tree backdrop. The garden demonstrates that a relatively small space can be transformed into a plant-packed paradise! Plants that are usually difficult to grow in Orkney thrive here and the lush green paths give wonderful access to a rich range of plants.
Directions: Westlea is at the top of Cromarty Square, furthest from the sea, and sits adjacent to the Cromarty Hall, in St. Margaret’s Hope (known locally as “The Hup”). Parking is available in Cromarty Square. The X1 bus (Stromness and Kirkwall, to St. Margaret’s Hope) stops right outside Westlea.
