Belvedere House, Gardens and Park

Belvedere House, Gardens and Park

This established tourism attraction boasts a magnificent 160 acre lakeside estate with fully restored Georgian Villa, Victorian Walled Garden, naturalistic designed 18th century parkland punctuated with romantic follies, including the largest in Ireland; the Jealous Wall.

Since its construction in 1740, the house has been owned by a number of very colourful and interesting characters, whose stories foster intrigue and an emotive connection to the surrounding landscape. Visitors to Belvedere can enjoy a visit to the house, the walled garden and follies, along with four outdoor children's play areas, a magical Fairy Garden, and walking trails through woodlands on the shores of Lough Ennell. A licensed café and gift shop are also available on site.
