About
The historic gardens & grounds at Loughcrew Estate provide a fantastic day out for all the family. For the history buffs the grounds provide excellent examples from 17th and 19th century landscape and pleasure gardens. The central area of approximately six acres includes a lime avenue, extensive lawns and terraces, a magnificent herbaceous border and physic border. Within the gardens stand a medieval motte and St. Oliver Plunkett’s family church and Tower House. The gardens are also home to some magical Loughcrew Fairies - bring the little ones along the interactive Fairy Trail for a day of discovery and fun. Pick up your booklet in the Limetree Cafe and head out in search of our winged friends.
