RHSI Bellefield opens to public this weekend

Bellefield House and Gardens, owned by the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland will be open to the public from February 7 - 9 when visitors are invited to view the house and its magnificent gardens.

The renowned architect and garden designer Angela Jupe, who died in 2021, left her house and gardens at Bellefield, Shinrone, Co Offaly to the RHSI and it has since been in their care.

As well as a house and cottages, the grounds include a 2 acre walled garden with a noted collection of perennial plants and rare bulbs, pasture, forestry, a bog area managed for biodiversity and a plantation of native trees.
