The story behind Lismore Castle Gardens
The upper garden preserves a formal layout associated with the early seventeenth century. The lower garden developed later and has a looser character. Looking between the two reveals changes in taste as clearly as the architecture of the castle above them.
What you will see
The public visit is to the gardens and Lismore Castle Arts. It does not include a tour of the private castle interior. Follow the terraces, planting and artworks, using the building as the setting rather than expecting rooms behind every door.

Where this comes from
- From the map
- The name, the kind of place, the address where the record carries one, and any website, phone or opening hours shown as recorded on the map are tags on OpenStreetMap a26447295, and can be corrected there.
- Worked out here
- Every distance, the nearest road where the record has no address, which car park and which stop are nearest, and the order of the lists are this site’s own calculations from those records. Distances are straight lines between two points, not walks along the footpaths, and the map will route the real walk on request. A mistake in any of this is a mistake here rather than on the map.
