Many visitors enjoy strolling through the village, taking in the tree-lined square and riverside. The green area by the river is charming, and if you walk under the bridge, you can spot Mount Sandford Castle, a hidden folly. It’s no wonder this village has been a popular film location

The Woodstock Estate is a perfect recreational hub. The gardens, restored to reflect the 1840-1890 era, feature formal and informal spaces, including an arboretum, walled garden, and rose garden. Highlights include the Monkey Puzzle and Noble Fir Avenues, popular for selfies.

Notable additions are a rustic summer house made from garden materials and a fountain. The arboretum houses Ireland’s tallest tree and many unique specimens from Asia and South America.
