Really enjoyed our trip to the National Stud (wish we had something similar in England!). Luke was an excellent and knowledgable tour guide.
Highlight was meeting the retired legends (especially Faugheen!) and being able to wander about and see the size of the stud. Obviously not many horses about because of the time of year but still excellent.
The Japanese garden was quite small but like a maze so felt much bigger.
Definitely recommend a trip if you’re that way, and very reasonably priced!

A fabulous layout, the gardens are intricate and interesting. There are lots of fun surprises in the layout of the Japanese gardens too, we had small children with us and they were safe and able for all the steps and climbs. I would say some of it isn’t suitable for prams or wheelchairs but a lot of the grounds are. The plant diversity was wonderful. The food in the cafe on the grounds is more dinner food, it is quite expensive but the portions are big and the food is well worth it. The staff are polite and the cafe and grounds are very clean.

The place is amazing.
Relaxing place to be with plenty benches around.
Beautiful Japanese Garden
Unfortunately some people don’t respect this place by throwing trash on the grass and leaving paper cups around.
