The Walled Garden
...one of Ireland’s oldest walled gardens..
The Walled Garden situated in the grounds of Glenarm Castle is one of Ireland’s oldest walled gardens dating from the 18th century. Originally created to supply the Castle with its fruit and vegetables, The Walled Garden is now filled with exciting flowers and specimen plants to interest the keenest horticulturalist.
Beautiful in all seasons, the garden is open from May, when you can see the fabulous display of bulbs and apple and pear blossom, until the end of September when the garden is still in full bloom with rich displays of herbaceous plants. In recent years under the stewardship of head gardener, Nigel Marshall, The Walled Garden has undergone extensive restoration and improvements including new water features and in 2007 we revealed our new Mount, designed by Catherine Fitzgerald.
