Courtyard Cafe at Birr Castle in Birr

Fantastic castle and gardens , home of the biggest telescope in the world in 1840 well worth a visit

A beautiful place to visit, didn't have enough time to see everything and I was there for over 5hours

If you are a tree lover there are some fabulous specimens here my favourite the fagus sylvatica pendulous aurea weeping yellow beech. An unrivalled rare tree fab

Fabulous grounds for a relaxing walk.

There is an old telescope there, which was considered the largest in the world for 70 years in the 18th century. It's a pity that you can't enter the castle. It's a private house. A beautiful park.

It's a very pretty place to walk around. We mainly came for the kids treehouse only to discover it's closed for an entire year.

I love walking in the gardens ! I must have spent 4 hours wandering : it’s gorgeous ! The Science Museum is very good and all the info is well displayed, a nice flow of information about the universe. I need to come back when the inside can be visited. I was there a few weeks ago and the inside was closed, but I knew that because I came. I wish there was a nice book in the shop about the history of the family .

The weather was beautiful that day

Fantastic place. Well worth the visit.

The grounds and walks are beautiful. The history is visible, such as the telescope and walled garden.
