Tour of Knockmore House, Co. Wicklow

Knockmore is a Regency style house built around 1850, with gardens created by two sisters in the 1880’s, and further developed by well-known garden writer Ruth Isabel Ross, who published a book about the garden in 1999.

Since the present owners purchased the house in 2019, a major restoration of the property has taken place, and work on the gardens is now underway. There are lawns, borders, ponds, a vegetable garden, a wild garden, woodland and many large old trees.

Join us to hear a bit about the history of the house and the restoration work that has been carried out. Enjoy a walk around the gardens created by The Maye sisters in the 1890’s, and see the on-going works.

Knockmore House is a member of Historic Houses of Ireland.
