Beautiful gardens with lakes and wild life. Excellent cafe. The best lemon drizzle cake I have ever had anywhere. Lovely addition of interest in history of the and miniature automobile displays. Highly recommended. We had a really lovely day exploring Johnstown and its gardens; it’s a truly beautiful place. The grounds are extensive and very well-kept, making it a fantastic walking area with lovely paths around the lakes and through the woods. The absolute highlight for us was the huge number of magnificent peacocks roaming freely. What makes the experience extra special is that you can buy a bag of seeds in the shop and feed them. The peacocks and other birds are quite tame and will happily eat from your hand, which was a real treat. Just a heads-up for visitors, you buy your entry tickets inside the main shop when you arrive. It’s a wonderful spot to spend a few hours, especially on a nice day. It just misses out on five stars for us, but we would still highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. This is a really nice day out for a group of all ages. The of the was fun and informative - our guide was really good. There is a café and a gift shop plus there are a variety of events happening on the grounds during the summer - checkout the website for details about the dates and how to book them. The gardens and lakes are beautiful and there are walking trails as well. We spent many hours here last week, going through the museum, walking the grounds and had a bite to eat at the cafe. A wonderful place for a family day out. There were no tours of the happening on the day due to a wedding. Well worth a visit especially with good weather, encountered many swans, ducks and peacocks on our stroll. Took a visit here when I was down in Wexford for a few days. Would highly recommend the guided tour. You can walk around the grounds for free but if you want to know about the history and how everything fits in, I’d recommend the tour. On the day we had the lovely Eileen showing us around & we were lucky in that apart from myself & my wife, no one else was on the with us. Johnstown is a great place to spend time with family. We spent over three hours there and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The entry fee was reasonable, especially considering the variety of attractions. There’s plenty to see and do, with lots of interesting history—perfect for both adults and children. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We’ll definitely return someday. Highly recommended! Beautiful walks around the lake and peacocks everywhere. The guided of the is a nice way to get to know about the history of it. The guide Liam was very knowledgable. The cafe is great for a light lunch. Cannot recommend this enough! Excellent guide I believe his name was Tony gave us a fantastic of a beautiful castle. The surrounding grounds are equally gorgeous. Cafe prices were fair and staff friendly. The story of the families who owned the really elevated the whole trip and gave life to the beautiful rooms and halls.
