Turlough Park is a small demesne in the parish of Turlough. In the mid 19th Century the Fitzgerald Family commissioned the distinguished architect Sir Thomas Newenham Deane to design the house, which was built in 1865.
A splendid landscaping scheme was implemented to compliment the design. The features of Turlough Park Victorian Gardens include terraces and a man made lake and islands. The main focal point from the front of the house is an ornamental freestanding glasshouse. A central path to the rockery is flanked by formal flower beds, surrounded by paths and lawns. A conservatory, which is curvilinear lean-to, on the stable wall is an interesting period piece and indications are that it may be a Richard Turner.
Facilites include toilets, parking, wheelchair access and restaurant. Group visits can be arranged by prior appointment.
