The 17th century Loughcrew Gardens contains acres of landscaped rural idyll, filled with lime avenues, yew tree walks and perfectly maintained lawns and terraces. Woodland creatures, sculptures and fairies can be found within the stone walls, while the lakeside walk will take amblers past a rockery, rhododendrons and expansive views. Further country respite can be uncovered in the log cabinstyle coffee shop, where drinks and light meals are on hand to replenish energy. Customers can while the day away with a winter warmer afternoon tea, beginning with a homemade soup alongside a selection of sandwiches, and ending with a warm scone and a cup of tea or filter coffee. Guests can then explore every nook and cranny with entrance to the gardens included. Choose from the following options for afternoon tea and entrance to gardens • €17 for two people 50% off • €32 for four people 53% off
