Japanese Gardens & Irish National Stud(Tully, Co Kildare, Ireland)

The horse museum at Tully, near Kildare town, features Arkle, one of the most famous horses Ireland has produced, and traces the history of the Irish horse. The many stud farms show the country's strong association with the horse, which thrives here on the limestone plains. You can trace man's journey through life at the Japanese Gardens nearby.
