Barmeath is a flamboyant castle set in over 10 acres of historic gardens over looking Dundalk Bay. Home to the Bellew family since the 1670s, the main design of the garden is by Thomas Wright who came to Ireland in 1745. The grounds feature a lake, islands and a rustic rock bridge, which is typical of Wright's work. In the walled garden, there is an extensive variety of roses, fruit trees, a summer house, herbaceous border and the vegetable plot.
