| Tully Castle |
| Church Hill, Co. Fermanagh Location, of (A46) Belleek to Enniskillen road 3 mile north of Derrygonnelly . This Renaissance-style of formal garden was introduced to Ireland towards the end of the sixteenth century although rather few survived the 1641 rebellion . Beside the carefully maintained ruin of Tully Castle (itself a casualty of that period) the Department of the Environment has created an authentic garden and lakeshore path . It gives a flavour of how a garden of this early period might have looked . Wattle fencing encloses formal patterns of beds planted with a mixture of herbs, fruit trees and flowers known to have been grown at that period . You can also view a small exhibition in the adjoining farmstead . Open April - Sept : Tues - Sat 10am - 7pm, Sun 2 - 7pm. There is an entrance charge. |
