What visitors say
Nice rock gardens. We used to cycle here from Dundee as children in the 70s. Lots of interesting plants and landscapes.

A very useful stopping point on the walk to Monifieth on a very hot day. A well kept area and a interesting view of the railway line.

Barnhill Rock Garden is a public park extending to more than two hectares It is situated on part of a former nine-hole golf course which was laid out when the Dundee to Aberdeen railway line was built; The Garden was started in 1955 by clearing an area of volcanic rock, which had at one time been the old shore line. Over the years it was extended eastwards over areas which had been sand dunes. In the 1980s, two new water features were added, creating a tranquil environment and a haven for wildlife. It is a peaceful haven with lots of seats to take in the views and enjoy the greenery . Public toilets nearby

Well maintained with picnic tables (x2) and benches spread through area. Lovely peaceful place to stop off at. There are toilet facilities. Can't see the beach at other side of road due to planting. When sitting in you are looking into the gardens. Perfect.
