Kylemore’s Victorian Walled Garden

2019年7月1日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

One of the highlights of our visit to Kylemore Abbey was the Victorian Walled Garden on the grounds of the estate ... about a mile from the castle-turned-abbey.

The garden was originally developed in the 1800s when Mitchell Henry built the castle for his wife. The red brick wall around the garden absorbed the heat of the sun during the day and released it back into the garden in the evening ... essential in the cool and damp climate of Ireland. Over time, it fell into ruin and the manicured grounds became overgrown. The Benedictine nuns who took over Kylemore in 1920 began a restoration program in 1995, using archive photos showing the layout as it was in the 1870s.もっと詳しく
