The gardens of Mount Stewart estate in County Down, Northern Ireland are renowned for their uniqueness, so much so that they’ve earned a spot on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage tentative list.

Kylemore Abbey Gardens
Kylemore Abbey’s Victorian Walled Garden, nestled in the rugged Connemara Countryside, is a meticulously curated oasis of beauty. Developed alongside the Castle in the late 1800s, this garden spans approximately 6 acres and it is divided by a picturesque mountain stream, featuring formal flower gardens, glasshouses, vegetable patches, and a fernery, all properly restored to their former glory. Today, this Heritage Garden showcases only Victorian-era plant varieties, inviting visitors to marvel at its ever-changing colors and immerse themselves in the timeless allure of Connemara’s crown jewel.

Located in County Wicklow, Mount Usher Gardens, crafted by four generations of the Walpole family since 1868, stands as a celebrated example of a Robinsonian garden, famed for its rare species and vibrant displays of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, and magnolias. Within its serene landscape, adorned with charming wooden bridges and tranquil seating areas, visitors can pause to admire the beauty of its surroundings.
