Knockabbey
Castle & Gardens have been one of Ireland's best kept secrets.
In
1998 these sleeping gardens were purchased by Cyril O'Brien.
Currently
under major restoration with the aid of the Great Gardens of Ireland
Restoration Fund, these special gardens are being re-awoken. They
reveal some of the finest historical water gardens to be found anywhere
in the country, dating back to the 11th century. The gardens contain
a wide range of magnificent specimen trees and the tulip tree ranks
among the largest and finest in Ireland.
Today
you can witness a unique opportunity to see these gardens under
their final stages of restoration. Spend an afternoon strolling
through 30 acres which include wildflower meadows, herbaceous borders,
a Victorian Flower Garden and restored glasshouse. Experience the
peace and tranquillity of this magical place.
"
A visit to Knockabbey Castle and Gardens is like stepping back in
time. Here you can see for yourself a real piece of Irish gardening
history"
