Glenarm Castle Garden: A colourful vista in the north of Ireland
This evening, I am posting information and images on one of Ireland’s oldest gardens, namely those at Glenarm Castle which occupies a coastal location about 32 miles/50 minutes north of Belfast. Here can be found: A sculpture by Angela Sykes, Countess of Antrim. A circular yew hedge which was established in the 1820s. Herb Garden. Cascade and Fountain. Herbaceous Border filled with a range of colourful flowering plants including tulips, paeonies, dahlias and penstemons. Espaliered apples trees. these are pruned and tied to a frame. Kitchen Garden for production of fruit and vegetables. 1820s era Glasshouse in which apricots, nectarines and grapes are grown. Other features including a wooden, carved obelisk and the Mount, an artificial mound which forms a viewpoint. Video clip of the Garden Still images Share on Facebook
