The Walled Garden at Woodville, Kilchreest, Loughrea, Co. Galway has been beautifully restored with colourful herbaceous borders, espaliered fruit trees, vegetable garden, rose garden and a fountain. Daphne Shackleton advised on the restoration which included reinstating a dovecote which is one of the few remaining “Garden Follies” in the West of Ireland and is home to a family of white fantail doves.
Woodville has a museum outlining the connection to Lady Augusta Gregory to this historic house and garden. Come for a visit to this romantic secret garden in the West of Ireland and enjoy the sights, scents and colours contained within the original stone walls.
