Parks, gardens & estates in Ireland


There is a wide selection of parks, gardens and estates in Ireland which provide walking trails through landscaped surroundings. We have compiled a list of 135 locations and plotted them on a handy interactive map below to help you find Irish parklands to explore.

Parklands offer great walking opportunities all year round, however we particularly recommend paying them a visit when the flower displays are in full bloom. For this reason, we promote parkland walking as our monthly theme for May.
