Altamount Gardens

Delightful formal and informal gardens at Altamount House which dates to the late 17th century. The gardens convey a sense of tranquillity and timeless beauty both visually and with a rapture of scents. Tended lawns reach to the large, man-made lake whose perimeter walk provides ever changing vistas with rare trees, shrubs and bountiful wild life. A large wild garden with many rare shrubs leads to a dramatic ice-age glen overlooking the River Slaney walk. "Photograph courtesy of Ireland South East Tourism"
