Stopped off in Coole Park on my way from Galway to Limerick as wanted to capture some photographs. The grounds are excellently maintained and there is a nice tea room that offers nourishment after a brisk walk. A wonderful amenity for which entry is free of charge to the public. Ample free parking also available
There are a lot of trees cut down for a nature reserve, which is always sad to see. Trail signs missing in a few places but overall a very nice place for a walk. The lake is lovely. Enjoyed it.
Walks well laid out. An outdoor treat. Interpretive centre and tea rooms available high season with lots of parking.
loved every minute of our walk around Coole Park - fantastic scenery & well signed walkway. Pity the coffee shop was closed as it was off season. Will definately pay a return visit
Crisp Autumn day, clear skies, a walk down the paths, through the colourful leaves to a picturesque lake - absolutely beautiful.
Perfect for couples, families,dog walking, picnics or just catching a moment of calm to yourself in the midst of nature.
What a gorgeous location.
Coole Park is an ideal visitor attraction, catering for people who love literature and history, and those who enjoy walking in beautiful woods, in a walled garden and along the edges of a lake. The coffee in the cafe was excellent. The visitor centre is informative, with an excellent exhibit telling the story of the place through the eyes of Lady Gregory's granddaughter. You can watch a 30-minute film about the history of the place: fascinating and beautifully done. The autograph tree in the walled garden, which includes the initials of George Bernard Shaw, amongst others, is wonderful. For further explorations of WB Yeats' life and work, Thor Ballylee is only a few miles away. A great day - and no entrance fee. Can't recommend it enough.
