Where
Listoke Ballymakenny Road DroghedaListoke House and Gardens are situated on the Ballymakenny Road, Drogheda, County Louth. The Edwardian Gardens are complete with grass tennis court and stand sentinel to another era.
The owners of Listoke are welcoming and eager to share their precious haven and vast knowledge. Patrick & Patricia Barrow have had the gardens open to the public now for many summers. They have recently been joined at Listoke by their daughter and son in-law Juliet and Raymond Gogan and their 4 boys. Juliet and Raymond have brought new life to Listoke by rebuilding on the foundations of the original Georgian house (Listoke House) which was demolished in 1958. The new house is very much in keeping with the surrounding buildings in the courtyard.
Take in the lovely art work in the Art Gallery, stroll through the Gardens, browse in the Garden Shop and enjoy refreshments in the Pavillion Tearooms. Listoke Distillery and Gin School, Ireland's only gin school, are both housed in the beautiful courtyard.
Listoke House & Gardens are part of the Boyne Valley Garden Trail.
