While taking a turn around the grounds you will set upon a lake, a stream and lawn with many varieties of rhododendrons and rarer plants as well as a walled garden with floodlit golf putting and chipping green and even a grass tennis court.

Most of the garden was planted during the construction of the main residence in 1835 and many of the specimen trees were specifically planted for their colourful foliage.

The 19th century was a time of great botanical and geographical exploration with numerous species from around the world being introduced to Ireland. The more favourable soil and climatic conditions resulted in many trees and shrubs succeeding here.

The majority of the grounds have been kept to maintain and enhance the natural woodland appearance.

Whether you choose to meander through the natural alcoves of the garden or sit and read under a tree by the pond, our guests can experience a sense of awe and relaxation that is truly unique to Trudder Lodge. The garden is ideally designed for garden parties, BBQ’s and picnics, or even a Boutique Festival -with lots to discover for young and old, and even a Trudder treasure hunt!
