Mount Congreve Gardens is a world-renowned 18th-century estate on the banks of the River Suir in County Waterford. Recognised as one of the great gardens of the world, it spans 70 acres of planted woodland, landscaped lawns, and themed gardens, with over 3,000 different trees and shrubs and one of the largest plant collections in Ireland.
At the heart of the estate stands the Georgian Mount Congreve House, now home to a welcoming Visitor Centre. Here, guests can enjoy freshly prepared food at the Stables Café and browse Irish-designed homeware and gifts at the FOXFORD store.
Whether you come to explore the winding garden paths, discover rare plants, or simply relax with good food and shopping, Mount Congreve offers a unique blend of heritage, horticulture, and hospitality — a place to experience in every season.
