- Joanna SOhio15 contributionsI was enchanted by this castle and its gardens. Well worth visiting and taking a tour. I thought the gardens were beautifully kept and looked straight from a fairytale. The peacocks in the courtyard added to the charm.Written 5 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephanie CNaas, Ireland12 contributionsWe enjoyed our excursion to Duckett's Grove. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable sharing the story of the house and family that once lived there.
The tour is outside so we were happy we had rain jackets and umbrellas on the day.Written 3 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They have a little takeaway food area with a small shop, toilets and showers and a big enough play area for the kids, they also run a tractor and trailer ride around the grounds for free and sell fire wood on site for that evening time camp fire / bbqWritten 25 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Roddy AShankill, Ireland186 contributionsYes, it's modern art and it might not tick all your boxes but there are enough different mediums to guarantee something that will catch your attention.

- Christy_Luv2Gorey, Ireland1,917 contributionsThis is a lovely place to spend an hour of your time, as it's indoors. Lovely curator, full of history. Check out opening times before you visit, as it's all run on a voluntary basis. Wonderful poignant photos of the actual War.

- breandanoscanaillclifden county Galway72 contributionsVisited this very interesting church recently. Both outside and inside are interesting. There are some very fine features inside.
