The Estate

The scale and maturity of Luttrellstown Castle’s extensive Demesne allows a complete escape from the stress and care of daily life.  It is possible to spend tranquil hours walking the woods and parkland, exploring and enjoying the many unique attractions of this historic estate.

Close to the castle is the formal walled garden with its special rose display, an apple orchard and a delightful arboretum with over 300 types of exotic trees and plants.

In the glen running down to the River Liffey,  a romantic blind arch from about 1780 spans the carriage driveway and a classical Doric temple of the same vintage stands overlooking the lake, adjacent to an enchanting waterfall. A wonderful setting and so near Dublin.

The ruins of a splendid Gothic folly provide an added attraction.

The castle’s 20-acre (8-hectare) lake is ideal for angling and boating. You can also go horse-riding, pheasant and clay-pigeon shooting and try your hand at archery. (See Activities section for more details)
