Belvedere House Gardens & Park in Mullingar, County Westmeath, demonstrates beauty, intrigue and passion, all of which make for an enchanting visitor experience and an excellent day out for all ages. Lord Belvedere's Hunting Lodge at Lough Ennell stands on 160 acres of maintained estate, punctuated with numerous follies, the largest being The Jealous Wall which was built to obscure the view of his brother's larger house.
Belvedere House has been fully restored and is noted for its exquisite Rococo ceilings and bow end design. The Victorian Walled Garden awakens all the senses with a fragrant herb garden, old rose beds, tumbling herbaceous borders, alpines, climbers and vegetable potager.
The lakeside estate with its gardens and park also has a licensed restaurant, gift shop, four children's play areas, 10km of walking trails, a fairy garden and several picnic areas. Information panels for visitors can be found throughout the house and grounds, along with audio guides to aid in exploration.
