Deepwell’s award-winning garden was once a swamp. In 1842 Richard S Guinness drained and filled it in, and created a three-acre walled garden, transforming the area forever. The garden was redesigned in 1955. Features include an Italianate garden with richly planted boxed parterres and a classical temple leading the eye to the Irish Sea. There’s also a herb garden close to the house. The house at Deepwell, originally called Friary Hill, contains a collection of Irish paintings and furniture.
