Truly special gardens. The kids loved it. Lots of imagination and innovation. Good value. Lovely way to spend time. We'll go back.

Such a glorious place. The views that day were a bit misty due to earlier rain but still incredible. The hike up didn't take long but was a bit of a climb with some steep grades. The site itself is fascinating and I want to learn more about it: what are the lines radiating out from Cairn T representing? Is that a stone circle in the next field over (sadly not accessible)? Would love to return and explore this site again.

What an incredible venue for our wedding. We wanted somewhere our guests could stay with us and where we could do a "day 2" as well. This location gave us the relaxed vibe we were hoping for. It also allowed us to make Loughcrew our home for the weekend which just felt incredible. The second day was just as enjoyable as the wedding, we arranged for a pizza van and coffee van for our guests and just enjoyed the stunning countryside with our guests. Emily and her staff were incredibly accommodating and available for anything we needed throughout the weekend. We would highly highly recommend this venue, especially if you're looking for somewhere to spend the whole weekend with your guests in an amazing location.

Approaching the Grotesque Folly

Loughcrew Gardens Saint Oliver Plunkett was born here in 1625. His church and a medieval motte (castle mound) survive as part of the garden.

The Fairy Walk (Pt. 1) The Fairy Trail is an exciting interactive sensory trail which gets children exploring Loughcrew Gardens and it is now open all year round!

Approaching St. Oliver Plunkett Church ⛪ Saint Oliver Plunkett’s church which dates back to the 17th century still stands within the grounds of Loughcrew estate. His family lived on the estate, in a tower house attached to the church, before the estate was taken by Oliver Cromwell in 1641 – it is said that he destroyed the church roof.

The Fairy Walk (Pt. 2) There are lots of lovely, scented flowers within the garden as well a wild flower meadow and water garden.
