Historic gardens reopen in Cork after 2m restoration
Thirty acres of historic gardens dating from the 18th century have reopened to the public in Co Cork, following a €2 million restoration programme by the Office of Public Works.
Annes Grove House and Gardens, which sit in a 190-acre estate, were gifted to the State by Jane and Patrick Annesley.
Six generations of the Annesley family have lived at Annes Grove, near Doneraile in north Co Cork. It was their ancestral home for about 400 years.
Several gardens were laid out at Annes Grove from the 18th century onwards. These are significant today, both historically and horticulturally.
