The Poppy Garden

The Poppy Garden is a beautiful cottage garden, full of quirky features and whimsical touches. The three dogs will welcome you in, and beg for petting all the way round. A maze of paths will take you round the gorgeous planting, to the fairytale house with a patio full of colourful pots and covered with flowering climbers. Keep going out the back, and from the raised back patio you will have stunning views of the Loughcrew Hills. Keep exploring the beds and borders, vegetable plot, orchard and locker garden.

Loughcrew Equinox Dawn

The autumnal equinox is on September 23rd. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, autumn arrives while south of the equator, spring begins. 5000 years ago, the builders of the monument known as Cairn T at Loughcrew aligned their tomb to sunrise at the equinoxes.

The Office of Public Works will have staff on site for dawn from 7.00am on September 22nd, 23rd and 24th (Thursday, Friday and Saturday).

Cairn T remains closed but all are welcome to visit the Cairns to celebrate the beginning of Autumn.
