Loughcrew Gardens.
The Naper family have been creating Loughcrew Gardens since 1660,
the result is a garden comprising water, trees, vistas and
archaeology rather than flowerbeds. The surviving 17th century
features include a yew walk, foundations of a longhouse and a walled
garden from which a canal and a parterre have been relocated in replica.
In the 19th century these earlier elements were enveloped in a
development of parkland, watergardens, specimen trees, follies,
rockeries, woodwalks and vistas. The central area of
approximately six acres now includes a lime avenue, lawns and
terraces and herbaceous border.
