Children’s Play Area

The children’s play area is open daily from 10 am – 3 pm.

The Gordon Castle natural play area has been designed to encourage children, from a young age, to begin exploring and understanding their natural environment. The space was  created almost entirely from reclaimed Estate materials; stone from the Castle walls, storm blown logs, gravel and rocks from the quarry pit and plants grown in the garden. The project was a combined staff effort to dig, gather, plant and plow the natural playground into shape, all under the expertise and experience of Timberplay Scotland.

£3.00 (Nov 2025 – April 2026) per child

£5.50 (May – Oct 2026) per child

Supervising adults and babies up to 12 months go free.
