Ireland's Most Romantic Gardens






Altamont Gardens (Tullow, Co. Carlow) are described as "Ireland's most romantic garden" - and it is!







Heywood Gardens (Ballinakill, Co. Laois) - all that remains of this beautiful estate is the sunken garden, the woodland gardens and lakes designed by Sir Edward Lutyens.  Sadly the wonderful house was burnt down in 1950.  This garden truly is heaven on earth.
