This is a really lovely place to visit.

Lovely walks and really nice cafe. Good interpretative centre as well. Nice place to get away from it all. You can bring dog for a walk but have to keep him on lead. They have a nice place to tie up dogs as you have your lunch in cafe. Very good standard of food.

We recently visited the park to stretch the legs on a trip from Ennis. The park has lovely walkways and lots to see and explore. The autograph tree and walled gardens were beautiful as well as the poetry quotes on stone. We visited the visitor center which is in a lovely old building. This is also well laid out although not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs. I would recommend though that they provide leaflets with information about the park as you walk around. There didn't seem to be any there.
I visited the tearooms and although the space was lovely, the ladies working there weren't very welcoming. I felt hurried to finish up so that they could close up even though it was an hour before they were closing according to signage. It is worth a visit on a sunny day!

The grounds are a pleasure to walk around and quite extensive. There's a cafe there also that serves great lunches up til about 4pm. No charge for entry to the grounds or for parking which is pretty good.
