The Gardens at Lisnavagh
The Gardens were originally designed by Daniel Robertson (of Powerscourt
and Johnstown Castle fame, amongst others) in the 1850's. Many of the
original trees and features were retained at that time, and since then,
much work has gone into the restoration of the pleasure grounds so that
their splendour may be enjoyed again, thanks to Lady Rathdonnell.
"Lisnavagh is a Victorian Gothic mansion set in around ten acres
of pleasure grounds. There's this feeling of grandeur as you sweep up
the drive to the house. My favourite aspect of the garden has to be the
spectacular Irish Yew Walk."
