Killruddery House & Gardens

Killruddery House & Gardens sits below the Little Sugar Loaf on the edge of Bray, County Wicklow. The estate has been the home of the Brabazon family, Earls of Meath, for centuries, and its formal gardens are among the oldest surviving in Ireland, with long canals, hedged enclosures and a sylvan theatre.

As well as house and garden visits, the estate runs a farm shop and market selling local produce, along with events through the season. The grounds are also a fine place simply to walk.
