Heywood House Gardens in Abbeyleix, Ireland, are a stunning example of early 20th-century garden design. Created by the renowned landscape architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, these gardens are a harmonious blend of formal and informal styles. The centerpiece is a sunken garden with a circular pool, surrounded by beautifully manicured lawns, terraces, and a variety of ornamental plants. The gardens also feature a series of picturesque walks, offering visitors the chance to explore woodlands, a lake, and various architectural follies.
