THE GARdens at KILMOKEA.
The GARDENS ARE OPEN FROM EASTER 2026.
*Open weekly from Wednesday to Sunday & Bank Holiday Mondays for visits.
*The Gardens are beautifully laid out around a pretty georgian house overlooking the River Barrow. There is a depth of richness in the unspoilt nature of these gardens. The walled garden is a place of peace and reflection. The potager designed as a box maze grows fruit and vegetables.
Spring water cascades in a series of waterfalls through the woodland growing Camellias, Rhododendrons & Candelabra Primulas growing in the woodland.
*During 2026 we are open for Couples, Families, Small and larger groups, small weddings and Retreats to stay in our three self catering houses & court yard Bed & Breakfast rooms..
The wall garden is a place of peace and reflection with rose gardens, pools and herbaceous planting. Love seats are placed around every corner waiting to provide comfort for moments of contemplation. The potager designed as a box maize grows fruit and vegetables for the house. The woodland garden, with its host of winding paths provides an exciting display of exotic plants. Cultivation of this area began in 1968 with the excavation of the large pond. It was here that a millstone and flume from a horizontal mill were found dating back to the 7th Century The acid soil of this lower garden provides the perfect environment for Rhododendrons, tender Camellias eucryphias and magnolias not to mention Echiums, the giant borage which is closely associated with Kilmokea
To depict the historical influence, we have created a small Viking settlement and a Norman Motte & Baily. The gardens are a delight to view in the Spring with its mass of flowers, Summer with the Herbaceous plants at their height, Autumn with its subtle changing of colours and Winter with its fine silhouettes. We know you will enjoy this year-round wonderland. You are most welcome.
