Nestled between Enniscoe House and Mayo North
Heritage Centre the gardens and pleasure grounds lead into the woodlands
and down to the shores of Lough Conn. The first gardens were laid
out at the time the first house was built in the early 18th century
but it is not known exactly where they were situated.
However by the mid 18th century Enniscoe House was in its present
position and the garden walls enclosed three acres complete with
propagating house and stone built orangery. Gradually over the next
150 years the gardens and estate took on the appearance that is
still evident today.
