    Mount Usher Gardens in Ashford, County Wicklow, is one of Ireland’s most celebrated garden destinations. Set across 22 acres along the River Vartry, it features winding paths, vibrant seasonal planting and a renowned collection of trees and shrubs, all designed in a natural Robinsonian style.

    Home to the Avoca Garden Café and Food Market, the gardens offer a relaxed and immersive experience that combines horticultural beauty with great food and shopping. A favourite of Gardeners’ World presenter, Monty Don, it is a place to explore, unwind and enjoy nature throughout the year.
