Ardgillan Castle and Gardens

Ardgillan Castle and Gardens sits on rising ground near Balbriggan in north County Dublin, looking out over the Irish Sea towards the Mourne Mountains on clear days. The house is a castellated country residence at the centre of a large public demesne of parkland, woodland and coastal views.

The grounds include walled and rose gardens and open lawns, with walking paths through the estate. There is a tearoom for visitors, and guided tours of the house are offered at set times. The park is a popular spot for walks year-round, with easy access from the coast road.
