Courtyard Cafe at Birr Castle in Birr

I will return there in the spring. It will be even better there, you can walk around the park all day.

A beautiful garden, even at this time of year (December), worth a visit. Lots of interesting things to discover during the walk.

Beautiful garden and museum, it's a pity you can't go in the castle.

A very large area surrounded by a massive fence. There is a beautiful park, garden and telescope. Despite winter, everything is very beautiful and green, but I still want to come when everything is in bloom The telescope was for a long time the largest in the world. Tours to the castle, we were told, are from May to September.

great place for walk especially during warmer months.

Plus! Wonderful park. We bought a season ticket and visited all summer. Every time the park and gardens delighted us with something new. You can see the house once. Educational, but a bit expensive. Meeting the owners made the visit to the house more enjoyable. Good tour guides. We were impressed by the girl from Italy. She put her soul into her work and really wanted to help us learn all the interesting things. Highly recommend visiting. There are already plenty of photos online. The main thing is the experience.

Outstanding visit. I also recommend the extra visit to the castle. A really good tour of a genuinely interesting castle/house.

Really interesting walk around! The telescope is class!

Beautiful castle garden. Park-like and even with a stream running through it. When we were there they had a fun Halloween puzzle tour for the kids. There is also a nice playground. Very suitable for families with young children.

attended an (Engineers Ireland) event there 18/19/20 October celebrating the Parsons family history. The grounds, the telescope, the science centre - an easy 5 out of 5 from us. Birr is steeped in a rich history and the buildings around the castle are equally impressive.
