HATLEY CASTLE & GARDENS

Hatley Park is Canada's largest and most diverse National Historic Site. At the centre is a magnificent castle built in 1908 by former British Columbia Premier and coal baron, James Dunsmuir.

This 565 acre Edwardian estate is nestled on the Southern tip of Vancouver Island, just 25 minutes from downtown Victoria.

Open Year round, visitors will enjoy daily tours of Hatley Castle, a visit to the museum, or strolling through the Japanese, Italian and Rose Gardens. The ocean front setting is ideal for weddings, meetings, retreats, conferences, corporate team building, motion picture filming, experiential travel programs and special events.

Tours of the castle and gardens are available from the Hatley Castle Museum

The showpieces of the park are generally considered to be the formal gardens of which the Italian, the Rose and the Japanese gardens are the best known.
