Situated on Great Island near Campile, Kilmokea Gardens is laid out around a Georgian house overlooking the River Barrow – topiary, lawns, herbaceous and mixed plantings combine with architectural features to provide an enchanting series of enclosures. A large water garden extends into woodland planted with rare and tender trees and shrubs, and the organic fruit and vegetable garden is now also open to the public. There is a peaceful walled garden, a potager garden, designed as a box maize, that grows fruit and vegetables and a series of waterfalls that cascade through the woodland garden and flow past The Viking Settlement, Norman Motte, and Smaug, the tree dragon.
