Burtown House Gardens

Burtown House Gardens sit in open countryside near Athy, County Kildare. The gardens surround an early Georgian house and take in flower borders, woodland walks, a kitchen garden and space given over to art.

Produce grown on site feeds the kitchen, so a visit can combine a wander through the planting with something to eat. With gardens, art and food in one place, Burtown suits an unhurried half-day, particularly for visitors interested in Irish country houses and the gardening traditions that grew up around them.
