Tullynally Castle & Gardens
Tullynally is a magnificent, privately owned castle estate near Castlepollard.
Although the castle itself is not generally open to the public, you can explore up to 12 acres of parks and woodlands - some of which date back to the 1800s. Maybe you will find tranquility in in the Chinese garden
or drift away to the healing sounds of waterfalls and streams in the Tibetan garden.
Tours of the castle kitchens take place each Sunday from April to September while full tours of the gothic style castle are available to groups of 20 or more by arrangement.

Visitor Recommendations
Find out what other visitors had to say about Tullynally Castle Gardens.
A gem off the beaten track, well worth a visit for a walk around the gardens. Also the connection with the Myth of the Children of Lir as Tullynally translates as the Hill of the Swans.
For history lovers, woodland walkers and garden fanciers - this is a great place to visit. Part of the former horse stables are being used as a coffee shop but it doesn't disturb the original feel or atmosphere of the location.
They provide a pocket map with two loops and I would recommend doing the longer one as it really doesn't take all day. You could do it all in an hour and a half at a leisurely pace.
Walled garden full of pears and orchard dripping with apples. The quietness is just fab.
