Primrose Hill

Primrose Hill House is a regency villa attributed to the architect James Gandon. It’s political history is connected with Dr. Irwin and Eamon de Valera who was a frequent visitor to the house. The house and grounds were part of the Lucan House Demesne. Celebrating 50 years in 2008. The 2.5ha garden has been created over the last forty years by Cicely and Robin Hall and is more of a botanical garden with a strong sense of design and subtle colour schemes. The plant collection has been created from gardens past and present with an eye to growing plants with a challenge. There is also a spring garden, one of the finest collections of plants in Ireland excluding trees and shrubs and is particularly recommended to see in the three months we are open which are February, June and July.

The gardens are flanked with fields with a developing arboretum and there is a very pretty driveway with mature trees leading to the house. There have been four generations of keen gardeners in the family and some of the plants at Primrose Hill have been in the family for over 100 years.
