Doneraile Wildlife Park

As it is our last weekend off before we open, we decided to spend some time at the local and rather lovely Doneraile Wildlife Park. The gardens were landscaped in the early eighteenth century in the fashionable Capability Brown style. The illusion as you look down or even up at the house is that nature has created the cascading water naturally surrounded by large specimens of yew, cherry, weeping copper beech and planes.

All I can say is if you are ever in the area it is well worth visiting. It is a great place for families as there is a new play area and the herd of deer certainly will keep young and old entertained for several hours.
