Discover Johnstown Castle Estate, Museum & Gardens, just outside historic Wexford Town. Enjoy guided castle tours, stroll through ornamental gardens and uncover centuries of Irish heritage in a truly enchanting setting.

Admire the estate’s striking Gothic towers, turrets and elegant arched windows. Wander through beautifully restored walled gardens, discover an impressive collection of sculptures and enjoy peaceful lakeside walks.

The grounds were shaped by Daniel Robertson, renowned for his work at Powerscourt Gardens. Meander along winding paths through tranquil, tree lined landscapes with beautiful views across the lake.

Explore the Irish Agricultural Museum, where traditional workshops and restored machinery bring Ireland’s rural past to life. Steeped in history, the estate dates back to Norman times before passing into the ownership of John Grogan in 1692.
