Day Tour to The Japanese Gardens, National Stud & Kildare Village

Tour Highlights

The Irish National Stud’s Japanese Gardens, renowned throughout the world and the finest of their kind in Europe, were devised by Colonel William Hall Walker and laid out by Japanese master horticulturist Tassa Eida and his son Minoru. Their aim was, through trees, plants, flowers, lawns, rocks and water, to symbolise the ‘Life of Man’.

Join the stud’s impressive clientele with their guided tour which includes a visit to the foaling unit and even if you’re not a racing aficionado, you’ll be able to appreciate the historical success that has built this place and the passion that has sustained it.
