A beautifully preserved Georgian mansion filled with original furnishings, set on 370 acres of parkland with a 30-acre working farm, walled garden, and woodland trails — just 30 minutes from Dublin city centre.
Take a 50-minute guided tour through Ireland's most intact Georgian mansion. Walk the grand reception rooms including the Red Drawing Room, marvel at the 18th-century 'Cabinet of Curiosities' filled with treasures from Captain Cook's voyages, and explore the immersive servants' quarters with ambient sound and projected visuals. The tour price includes entry to the farm.
Meet rare and traditional breeds including Irish Moiled and Kerry cattle, Jacob sheep, Gloucester Old Spot pigs, Irish Draught horses, miniature Falabellas, and gentle alpacas. Don't miss the 'Mooternity Ward' for the newest arrivals. Pick up an activity sheet at the admissions desk for a self-guided discovery trail. Dogs are not permitted on the farm (guide dogs excepted Oct–Mar).
Dating from c.1765, this sheltered walled garden was designed to supply the Cobbe family with fresh produce. Stroll the central rose walk, see apple trees still fruiting after over a century, and admire the two restored 1905 greenhouses. A popular spot for picnics — and marriage proposals.
Wander 370 acres of pastures, meadows, and woodland trails. Look out for the resident deer herd. Deep in the demesne, discover the evocative ruins of Lanistown Castle, a mid-15th-century tower house once used as a dining hall by the Cobbe family in the 18th century.
Watch swans, ducks, and geese on the picturesque pond. The adjacent aviary houses colourful budgies, lovebirds, and resident Bengal owls Ben and Boo.
A state-of-the-art demo kitchen overlooking the cobbled 18th-century courtyard. It hosts farm-to-fork feasts, culinary masterclasses, wine-pairing evenings, and nutritional workshops. Also available as a venue for content creators. Check the events page or follow @thecourtyard.kitchen on Instagram.
A large adventure playground with separate areas for toddlers and older children — climbing frames, swings, tunnels, and a football cage. Benches and dedicated toilets are right by the playground.
