Ardgillan Castle and Demesne in

Beautiful gardens to spend an hour or two. Maybe get a bite to eat in the lovely cafe. Free entry to the gardens and carpark. Great playground for the kids and plenty of open spaces to enjoy. Lovely views of the sea also. An afternoon well spent.

This is a great public park on the south side of Balbriggan. Great walks and children's playground. Nice cafe and beautiful rose garden. 👍😊💙🇮🇪

A perfect place to slow down. We wandered around the gardens, explored the beautiful greenhouse, admired the castle, and eventually just lay on the grass overlooking the sea. Sometimes that’s all you need. Peaceful, spacious, and full of little corners to discover. It’s one of those places where you can easily spend a few hours without even noticing the time.

Beautiful gardens, amazing view well worth a visit. If your passing by take an hour to have a stroll around. Little cafe with outside seating overlooking beautiful fields. We didn't get to look around inside the castle last entry is 4:30 and me missed it.

A great place for a family picnic, with beautiful views, a castle, and gardens. And a huge playground for kids that's hard to drag them home from.

Has potential for more. Only a few rooms to see and furnishings not original. No guide book. Very long walk from main car park. Lots of craft places closed. Gardens and park excellent. Has playground for kids.

The grounds are incredible. We were there at a time when the roses were in full bloom. Very impressive as were the other gardens. They could do with employing several more workers to carry out simple maintenance work around the place, dead heading roses and trimming hedges etc. The house was less impressive and the pre recorded tour was a dead loss. For almost €10 each they could at least provide a tour guide to bring the wonderful history of the place to life. We had spent time on the same day over in Trim Castle. Chalk and cheese comparison. Tour guide, incredible knowledge of every detail of the place, the people and their history. I’m sure Ardgillan have an equally fascinating story but 1 out of 10 for effort on this. If I were going again with a group I’d advise one person download the scant info and play it on speaker to the others.

Absolute peace, wonderful meadows, and beautifully maintained gardens. I loved walking there.
