killruddery house gardens

Killruddery House has been the home of the Brabazon family (the Earls of Meath) since 1618. It was completely renovated in 1820 by the 10th Earl. The large and small drawing rooms have particularly fine plasterwork ceilings. There's an Orangery, which was added in 1852, and the house is surrounded by magnificent gardens that date back to the 17th century.
A number of Hollywood movies have been 'on location' at Killruddery House including My Left Foot, Far and Away and Becoming Jane. The production The Tudors was also shot on location here.
Visitors can take a guided tour of the house and take a stroll around the well-maintained gardens during the open season.
