heywood gardens

Heywood Gardens were landscaped in the eighteenth-century and completed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1912. They consist of formal gardens, lakes, woodland, and architectural features such as gothic gates and artificial ruins embellished with vandalised medieval pieces such as the window taken from Aghaboe Abbey.
The garden is under the care of Dúchas, the Heritage Service. The garden is open all year round, free of charge, with access at the weekends through the turnstyle entrance. Wheelchair access is very poor due to the design of the site. Guided tours are available on request.
