| Description : Large demesne for the former rectory of Raphoe, built 1739. Impressively refurbished by the current owners since 1997. The layout of the demesne has been largely maintained and internal paths reinstated. Accomplished ornamental gardens have been created within the walls of the former productive gardens. The lower part of the demesne, to the south and separated by a road, has been developed with the addition of a narrow gauge railway, a folly and ornamental planting. New gardens designed by Tony and Elizabeth Wright. Winner of the Overall Award in the Irish Garden Awards for 2006. Websites: www.oakfieldpark.com & http://www.donegalgardentrail.com/ |
