Coolwater Garden

Coolwater Garden
Enquire

Entrance to Coolwater includes a personally guided tour and refreshments in the Copper Pagoda beside the Water Garden and so naturally must be booked in advance.

This garden, on half an acre, steps to the beat of a completely different drum with its breath-taking Water Garden, troughs chockablock with choice Alpine plants and distinctively styled West Garden: don't expect any lawns and borders in this garden!

Overlooked on one side by Skule Hill and on the other by Rockstown Castle, it has been designed for year-round structure and shape. The ponds in the West garden together with that in the Water Garden have also encouraged a superabundance of native aquatic wildlife.

Advance bookings only. Not suitable for wheelchairs (uneven flagstones and differing heights) & young children (water).

A guided tour includes refreshments in the pagoda, €10 per person.

Group rate for 10 people or more is €8 per person.

June 2020 Update: Due to current health considerations and to ensure social distancing, the maximum number of people per tour is now restricted to a small number. Strictly advance booking only, for tours at 11 am & 2.30 pm. Visits last for two hours.
