Large, beautiful old-world garden, Robinsonian in style with a strong emphasis on the informal tradition of combining a good plant collection within the natural landscape of its environment. Lawns and clipped yews slope down to a lake surrounded by rare trees, shrubs and a profusion of roses both old and modern with herbaceous plants scent the air. As this site is managed by the OPW, school tour visits are permitted free of charge provided certain conditions are met.
