Beautifully positioned in Portsalon, County Donegal, where Lough Swilly meets the Atlantic Ocean, Carrablagh House - Gardens & Woodland is home to an outstanding garden that dates back to the mid-19th century. The garden is laid out in a classic Robinsonian style.

Carrablagh House - Gardens & Woodland is an outstanding example of a well established country garden, dating back to the mid-19th century. It is set at Portsalon along the eastern cliffs of the Fanad Peninsula where Lough Swilly meets the North Atlantic Ocean in County Donegal.

The Garden is a classic Robinsonian garden open in May and early June that has surrounding woodland that protects the specimen plantings within. It is an intimate space with a series of pockets throughout the woods and a tiny walled garden. The woodlands are awash with rhododendrons around May each year. Carrablagh House - Gardens & Woodland is part of the Donegal Garden Trail.
