Kilgraney House Herb Gardens

Counties Wexford, Waterford, Carlow & Kilkenny


These delightful gardens are home to a heady cocktail of medicinal and kitchen herbs growing in orderly profusion; the recreated medieval monastic herb garden is a favourite. Admission includes herbal tea tastings; the herbs are also used in the kitchens of the inn and restaurant here. It's 7km northwest of Borris, signposted off the R705.
