Nestled in County Waterford and open year-round, Mount Congreve Gardens is a paradise for plant lovers, history buffs, and those seeking tranquility in nature. With one of the world’s largest private plant collections, this “Great Garden of the World” hosts flora from every continent. Mount Congreve House, built in 1760 by John Roberts, was inspired by Lionel de Rothschild’s renowned Exbury garden.

Ambrose Congreve’s legacy lives on through the stunning landscapes crafted by Garden Director Herman Dool.
