Day Out in Altamont Gardens, Tullow
The weather in Ireland last week was just fabulous so, on Monday, my friends and I decided to get in the car and make the short journey to Altamont Gardens in Tullow, Co. Carlow.
Many mature trees and lawns slope down to a lake surrounded by rare trees and rhododendrons and lead in turn to a very different garden featuring exotic shrubs and trees.
A fascinating walk through the Arboretum, Bog Garden and Ice Age Glen with its canopy of ancient oaks and huge stone outcrops leads the visitor to the River Slaney.
A great day had by all.
