Over and above the Boyne Valley Garden Trail there are some truly stunning gardens here in Ireland’s Ancient East, both North, South and West  of The Cottages. Some of our favourites are on the Dublin Garden Trail notable Ardan Garden in Howth, others like Mount Stewart to the North and Mount Usher to the South. June Blake’s garden is a really special tapestry of colour and of course her brother, the iconic Jimi Blake’s garden at Huntingbrook in Co Wicklow is we think the Jewel in the crown of Irish gardens. All of these and many more are here to be explored and enjoyed, within easy reach of The Cottages Ireland the list is growing by the day and always a great day out.
