From horses to horticulture the Irish National Stud & Gardens is one of Ireland’s true treasures.

The Stud Farm is the home of equine royalty, immaculately-bred stallions who can be seen and admired alongside protective mares, frolicking foals and athletic yearlings.

In the world-famous Japanese Gardens, you can follow the path called the 'Life of Man' which traces the passage of a soul from birth to death and beyond, at the same time providing a meeting place for the cultures of East and West.

St Fiachra's Garden symbolises the power of the Irish landscape, while the Horse Museum includes the skeleton of the legendary Arkle.

See retired equine stars like Hurricane Fly, Moscow Flyer, Kicking King, Beef or Salmon, and Rite of Passage on the stud’s 'Living Legend's' team.

Enjoy this unique experience as part of a guided tour or at your own leisure.
