Courtyard Cafe at Birr Castle in Birr

Fantastic place. The science museum, gardens and telescope were amazing. We'll definitely be back in the summer when the castle is open

Lovely gardens well worth a trip.

Beautiful garden, peace and quiet.

Great place. Will return next summer so we can visit the house

Just incredibly wonderful... Sharing the afternoon with children, full of excitement, feeding the swans, signet and ducks on the lake. The great variety of trees. The formal gardens.. The little furtive hedgerows run wild... The air, the scent of flowers and shrubs, the trickle of water, the cool simplicity of St Brendan's Well... The Leviathans, old and new, forging other patterns of the universe. The Castle itself, full of curves and plains and charming windows, catching the light of summer and lazy afternoons, even the little birds are down a few octaves. And all that labour and foresight-the wisdom of mulching the beautiful trees, even the magnificent magnolias with a variety of materials including sods of turf to keep them all alive and moist when it is 24 degrees and not a drop of rain.

Beautiful grounds only. Private residence in the castle. Bur a very well maintained Castle property. Big. As big as the whole town. Cost is €14/ person.

Birr castle is a place to be seen, the great telescope 🔭 is amazing and the gardens around it is beautiful.

Nice welcome staff, beautiful gardens

An absolute gem of a spot. The landscape has these rolling, uneven hills that make it far more scenic than your typical flat park, and a quiet little river winds right along the edge of the castle grounds. Crossing the hanging bridge gives you a great angle for photos, and the whole site feels steeped in history. If you are looking for a solid weekend trip, this place is well worth the visit.
