Ballynahinch Castle Gardens

Nestled in the pristine setting of Connemara, County Galway, Ireland, Ballynahinch Castle Gardens offers a stunning natural landscape and plenty of traditional Irish scenery. Spanning 13 acres of lush grassland, the estate consists of a Victorian castle and outbuildings, created in 1750. The grounds are filled with specimens of awe-inspiring trees and shrubs, as well as rustic gardens that feature trees, shrubs, perennials, streams and artificial lakes - all combining to create a peaceful and idyllic parkland. Visitors can explore the grounds on foot and get lost among the many pathways and terraced spirals, or even take a pontoon boat ride on the lake. Enjoy a stroll in the shade of lush green trees and a host of birdsong, and enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding area. Take a stop at the castle café for refreshments, or grab a bite to eat at the nearby hotel before heading off to explore the wonderful surroundings. Ballynahinch Castle Gardens is a great spot for a day out in the Irish countryside.
