Mayo North Heritage Centre & Enniscoe Gardens

Mayo North Heritage Centre, agricultural and household Museum and ornamental Garden.The Mayo North Heritage Centre is enclosed by woodland on the shores of Lough Conn. We are the genealogy centre for people of North Mayo looking to research their family history. This Centre is a founder member of the Irish Family History Foundation, and is part of the national network of family history research centres. We have a Museum with household and agricultural machinery. The reception area has a shop with many items exclusive to us. Antique and contemporary collectables, linen and lace, and many other attractive and unusual items are to be found there, and also featuring the work of local potter, Kay Ellen. Visit our working blacksmith in the forge, or just sit back and enjoy a snack in our tearoom overlooking the Victorian Walled Garden. There is also an organic vegetable garden and pleasure grounds extending to the shores of Lough Conn. The Walled Garden dates back to the 18th century, but the present focus of the garden is on the late Victorian period with plants of that era, and on the architectural features which have been restored under the Great Gardens of Ireland restoration programme. A feature of the garden is the rustic stone archway planted with hardy ferns and the long rockery.
