Birr Castle was a nice stop en route, the history of the telescope we found VERY interesting & the admission price was quite reasonable - SPA007

Very beautiful park, well maintained with the largest telescope in Europe at the time. Too bad the mini castle for children was closed for renovation.

We followed Google Maps to the location, but found the entrance gate was closed and we couldn't get in. We turned around and walked along the city wall for a while, then entered a parking lot next to it. We got out of the car and walked along the road for a while, but still didn't see the gate. We were very disappointed and left.

A good part of the trail was roped off to remove a felled tree, so a goodly % of the garden we were hoping to see in particular wasn't avaliable at all. Otherwise, it's a very well maintained gardens with lots of information about the store, the science and the biology.

Amazing estate with plenty of history, beautiful walks and loads to learn in the science centre. We did the castle tour as well where we learned about the Parsons family from our brilliant guide.

For 12 euros, they only let you visit the gardens. If you want to see the castle, since it's also inhabited, you have to pay 10 euros more and they only let you visit four rooms... I don't think I'd recommend it...

A visit to the castle, which is still inhabited by its owners, is particularly interesting. Booking through the website is highly recommended.
The tour of the park and a visit to the astronomy exhibition are also very entertaining.
Be sure to plan half a day—it's worth it.

Great place, with plenty to see and a decent price! €12 for adults and there is enough to entertain you for a few hours, even more if you love trees and nature. Beautifully kept place and very interesting history.
