Colclough Walled Garden
The walled garden was built by the Colclough Family in the early Nineteenth Century. Restoration work began in July 2010 and the original layout of the garden has been reinstated as it was in 1838.
On and surrounding the Hook Peninsula we have four members of the Wexford Gardens trail. Visitors can don their walking boots to cover ground taking on impressive woodland walks through important collections of trees or can experience the tranquil simplicity of wandering through historical gardens, fully restored and back in operation. For those who wish to get their hands dirty, the Hook Peninsula’s Greene Road Gardening School offers short workshops so you can add a little more green to your fingers before returning home from the emerald isle.
