The Poppy Garden

The Poppy Garden is a beautiful cottage garden, full of quirky features and whimsical touches. The three dogs will welcome you in, and beg for petting all the way round. A maze of paths will take you round the gorgeous planting, to the fairytale house with a patio full of colourful pots and covered with flowering climbers. Keep going out the back, and from the raised back patio you will have stunning views of the Loughcrew Hills. Keep exploring the beds and borders, vegetable plot, orchard and locker garden.
