Knappogue Walled Garden is a Victorian jewel. Box-hedged rectangles are planted with roses, sweet peas and lavender. Many are heritage varieties, including Lathyrus Cupani, the original sweet pea imported from Sicily in 1699, Lathyrus Painted Lady, another early sweet pea grown in Ireland in the 1700s, and the 16th-century Rosa moschata. Beyond the walled garden lies Knappogue’s medieval Castle and beyond that the rolling hills of County Clare. Events include Medieval Banquets held twice a night from April to October.
