Fun park for young kids. Nice trails and beautiful gardens. Great public bathrooms. Tea room is close to the playground but hidden so you have to stumble upon it. Great place to spend half a day with the family!

Nestled on the coast between Skerries and Balbriggan in North County Dublin, Ardgillan Castle offers one of the most enchanting and peaceful day trips just outside the city. The estate spans over 200 acres of rolling green meadows, woodland trails, and breathtaking views of the Irish Sea — but the real jewel here is the Rose Garden. As you step into the rose garden, you’re immediately enveloped by delicate fragrances and bursts of colour. Dozens of carefully tended varieties bloom in perfect symmetry, from classic blush pinks to deep velvety reds. The layout is both elegant and romantic, with old stone walls framing the space and giving it a timeless, almost fairytale atmosphere. Benches invite you to pause, breathe in the scent of summer roses, and just be. It’s a photographer’s dream, a dreamer’s escape, and an oasis for anyone needing a moment of beauty and quiet. The castle itself is rich in history and offers guided tours with intriguing tales of Irish aristocracy. Coastal views are stunning — on a clear day, you can see all the way to Mourne Mountains. There’s a tearoom on site, perfect for an afternoon scone or tea. Ideal for walking, picnics, mindfulness, and soaking up natural beauty. Whether you’re a garden lover, a history buff, or just someone looking for serenity, Ardgillan Rose Garden will leave a lasting impression.

Great place to enjoy a nice walk. The gardens are very pretty this time of year. There are picnic tables, free toilets, convenient benches, a huge playground with a view on the sea and a nice café.

Excellent gardens to view, great space for children to play. Castle well worth a visit. Nice small cafe.

Super amazing Castle , whopping 190+ acres of pristine greenery, trails, exemplar Castle Rooms, traditional furniture, crockery , Kitchens,Library ,Tea Room , Rose Gardens, Flora & Stunning beach view all add up to its shear magnificence

What the castle lacks in impressive architecture, it makes up for in its dramatic coastal setting. A good place for a walk and very nice planting and gardens.

Lovely grounds with beautiful view of the sea and nicely kept walled gardens. I did the self tour inside but found the house/castle inside a little disappointing... It's a little bland. That said, the library is cool and the staff member who gave a little introduction to some of the rooms was good. If you're interested in history I suppose €6 for the self tour is fine, but it's nothing spectacular. It's the outside and the grounds which are by far the highlight. Recommended, especially on a sunny day!

Very welcoming club, really nice course and very fair price… despite the rain, wind, cold the rain again we enjoyed the round and will definitely be back!

Great to be back playing in Balbriggan even though it was only 9 holes because of weather. Lovely food to finish off a great day in good company.

I have been a proud member of Balbriggan Golf Club for many years. I have seen it develop from what was regarded as a lovely 9 hole course to a wonderful and exciting 18 hole course. Our course is listed amongst the top 100 golf courses in Ireland. The course is challenging but fair and every hole has its own distinctive character. Come and play this course and you will not be disappointed. It is a great club to be part of with friendly members who are very welcoming.

I play this course a few times a year. Good variety of holes. The greens have always been in good nick when I was there. The Staff in the pro shop and bar are very friendly and helpful.

Had lunch here amazing value for money and top class service.

Enjoyable yet challenging course to play. In good condition overall having regard to the recent weather and rainfall. Greens in very good condition but slow due to the heavy coverage of dew. Nonetheless well worth playing and good value.

Nice course to play. Really enjoy the back 9.

I've purchased from this shop on a number of occasions and they never fail to please. Excellent staff, very knowledgeable and anxious to help. They have a good range available for both men and women and their boys section is excellent. Great place to go if you're shopping for a wedding or a boys confirmation. Plenty of parking and easy to reach just off the M1 Motorway.

Was looking for a tweed suit and went there because that's where they make the Celtic Tweed suits. They've got a lovely small collection of well made pattern and cuts in all sizes, excellent and very friendly service and advice. Both really shows in the suit. Fitting was done in house within an hour - couldn't wish for more!

An amazing company. They worked with me long distance, to provide a Jacket for my daughters wedding. A special shout out and thank you to Cathy Coghlan, the Managing Director, for all the time she spent to make sure I received exactly what I needed. They are not just a quality company, they are a team and a family that want to share their passion for for quality Irish services.

Celtic Tweeds was recommended to me by friends who were very happy with the customer service and the quality of the garments, and I have to say I agree 100%! Beautifully made, tailored and altered for me, and they're a perfect fit! Absolutely love my ladies Kennedy jacket with matching waistcoat, I get complimented on them everywhere I go. I'll definitely be back Celtic Tweeds!

Very nice tweed jacket with loads of detail. Fit was absolutely spot on . The delivery was very quick and Celtic Tweeds even takes the time to package it well for delivery. I found them to be very helpful with questions about sizing and also delivery as well . All and all the entire experience exceeded my expectations.

I was looking for a tweed jacket to wear for our informal fox hunting season. Also to be worn during formal season at the Hunt "Tea". I found your website - after receiving some great service helping me to choose the right size, I ordered the Waterford Jacket. It arrived to Maine in 6 days, (free shipping too!). It fits perfectly. I've been wearing it not only for my hunt activities but out and about. it is so beautifully made, and reasonably priced compared to other options. I couldn't be happier with it - thank you!

Very happy with the service provided, quick fitting and professional manner throughout.
