Heritage Gardens
Killruddery has world-renowned 17th-century Gardens, extending to flowering woodlands and further, to the grassland and tillage fields of our working farm. In the distance, our scrublands continue at the foot of the Little Sugar Loaf Mountain.
Our historic house overlooks the main geometric parterre with its beautiful statues and water features. Visitors can walk a landscape that has evolved since the 17th-century, passing the hornbeam and lime high hedge ‘Angles’, Long Ponds and Tea Room in the Formal Gardens.

Killruddery YardKillruddery Yard is our central gathering space, offering grown-here produce, home & garden shopping and ingredient-led, farm-to-fork dining experiences.
This is a stunning place with even more stunning gardens. Unfortunately I'm visiting at a time when the weather is exceptionally cold but I can envisage myself strolling around in the heat of the summer and taking shade under one of the many large oak trees that surround the gardens with a good novel to hand. Look forward to visiting during the summer next year.
Me and my wife visited Killruddery in August. We were staying at the Wilton Hotel which is just across the road from the main entrance. Weather was great which makes everything better! Lots of open space to explore around the gardens. The views from 'The Rock' were great. It's a lovely place to just sit and relax. We had coffee and cake from the Tea Room in the gardens which we both thoroughly enjoyed (again with great views)
Our visit to Killruddery was one of the highlights of the summer. Although the weather was not kind to us on the day we enjoyed visiting the market and had a nice breakfast in Killruddery Yard. We enjoyed a fantastic tour of the house with Sarah. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the house. She was excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a visit to Killruddery.
