Altamont Gardens – Carlow
We took a trip to Carlow last week to have a look at the college there in preparations for the leaving cert results coming out next week. It is a lovely town and we made the most of our trip with a stop at Altamont Gardens, there are some really beautiful walks there and of course the Garden shop. The walks are lovely, beautifully manicured lawns and flowers beds turn into a lake walk leading into a bog walk, that brings you to a walk along the river Barrow and then to a temple at the top of a hill. I have an addiction to plants and it is impossible for me to go to a garden shop without making some kind of a purchase and Altamont was no different. They had an excellent selection of plants, and I bought quite a few that I don’t have in the garden and will make lovely new additions to the already fabulous gardens at The Old Rectory Country House Leitrim
