The Gardens at Carrig Country
House
As the true spirit of nature abounds, the elements
combine in the
timeless gardens of Carrig Country House. Universally loved and
admired by all who are lucky enough to visit them, these four-acre
gardens contain a magnificent selection of rare and unusual plants
from all corners of the world including various species of acer,
magnolia, cornus, acacia and eucryphia.
Cradled in a hidden lakeside dell it plays generous host
to a wealth
of wildlife native to the area. Nurtured by the unique surroundings,
the gardens blend with nature to produce an ever-changing interest
through the seasons. From the beautiful established borders of
azaleas set ablaze with colour in late spring, to a vast array
of autumn tints enhanced by the everchanging foliage of the many
species of trees and shrubs found within.
From undulating carpets of velvet green moss through
fern glades
and stream paths, to cascading waterfalls and emerald lawns this
is truly a garden for all seasons to be enjoyed by all lovers of
nature and flora alike.
“There is a quiet spirit in these woods, that dwells where’er
the gentle south wind blows, where underneath the white thorn in
the Glade, the wild flowers bloom” Longfellow
