Beautiful gardens - only reopened following Covid 19 shutdown. Sadly no vegetables but the rest of the garden beautiful full of flowers and fruit. The walk from the car park was a little far for my mother,but she was willingly given a seat in the garden despite all the benches being closed off. After a lovely stroll around the garden. I was allowed drive back to garden to collect my mother as the walk around was enough for her poor knees. Friendly helpful staff- grateful they were so obliging.

As a local .. would really recommend for walking .. good 3km circuit through wooded areas and down by river. Tranquil and beautiful. Gravelled does not muddy paths. Inclines so good to get the heart rate moving. Good parking ... cafe on site and pub within walking distance in Saltmills.

We were 5 family members from 24 to 88 yrs 3 visiting from Marseille France and we had a wonderful visit to Ferns Castle, we wish to thank our guide John and the staff at Ferns for their excellent welcome. We were thoroughly engaged in the story of the castle, the area and the history of ireland painted beautifully in words by our host John. We would highly recommend visiting this small but exceptional heritage site brought to life by the passionate and knowledgeable staff. Murray Murphy Perez family
