Location:

The Vandeleur Walled Garden lies nestled in the heart of Kilrush Wood, just 2 Kilometres from the Centre of Kilrush in the County of Clare.
GPS Location: N 52.63657 W 009.47357
We are only 45km (28 miles) away from Ennis, 78 km (48 miles) from Limerick, 14km (8.6 miles) from Kilkee, 8 km (5 miles) from the Shannon Car Ferry (Killimer – Tarbert) in Killimer, 50.5 km (43 miles) from the Cliffs of Moher, and 109 km (67 miles) from Galway.
Coming to Kilrush follow the brown heritage fingerpost signs that lead you through the Town Centre towards Kilimer onto the N67. Just approximately 1 kilometre outside the town you find the road bordered by a high stone wall on the left. After ca. 500 metres the entrance to the wood opens to your left with signs advertising the Vandeleur Walled Garden and here you should turn off. Follow the road into the wood and it will lead you to an open space and further down a little hill to the car park and the entrance to the Vandeleur Walled Garden and Centre.
We hope, that no Leprechauns turn or take our signs.
