Coole House sadly is no more but the wonderful parklands remain. The authograph tree on the grounds is well worth a visit. It was signed by many of the famous literary figures of the 20th Century. There are lots of picnic tables available in this area and it makes for a lovely spot for a family get together. Weather permitting???? This is Ireland!!!!

An interpative centre exists and gives one lots of information on the geography of the area and also on the history of the house itself. A coffee shop and toilet facilities are located in this section of the park.

A number of walks are laid out and even take one to the famous Coole Lake the setting for Yeats- Wild Swans poem. Other pathways lead into the forest itself. These are not difficult walks but could be slippy in wet weather.

This is a third component to the Yeats trail in South county Galway and really is a piece of literary history. Go enjoy and soak up the peaceful and tranquil setting that is Coole Park,

I visited Coole Park this afternoon. We went for a lovely walk around the grounds. It's so peaceful and has beautiful trees and a beautiful lake. We went for breakfast in the Coole Park tea rooms.the staff were so friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a lovely freshly cooked breakfast of bacon,sausages, mushrooms and a fried egg and some good wholesome brown bread bread and tea.my partner had scrambled egg,grilled tomato and brown bread and a lovely cup of coffee. I would highly recommend this place.great value €14.
