Visit to Charleville House and Gardens – Saturday 10th May 2025 at 11am
It is a rare treat to visit Charleville House and Gardens, in Enniskerry Co. Wicklow. There has been a big house here since the seventeenth century, though the earlier houses burned down. The present Palladian house dates from 1797 and our tour includes viewing the beautiful reception rooms with their ornate plaster work.
The gardens are truly exceptional. Helen Dillon advised, and Arthur Shackleton oversaw the restoration of the gardens for the present owners.
We will have a self-conducted tour of these wonderful and historic gardens, with their avenue of Irish yew trees, nineteenth century conservatory, beech tunnel, Broad Walk made in 1851 to commemorate the Great Exhibition in London, a Doric orangery, superb flowering borders, as well as a wonderful rose garden, the shrubbery, and noble trees including deodars, redwoods and cedars of Lebanon.
