A stunning statue of St. Brigid and the Wolf has been installed at Lullymore Heritage and Discovery Park, brought to life by artist Gerry Smyth. Their story highlights the importance of caring for our natural world, and Lullymore is a fitting location, given St. Brigid’s ties to St. Erc of Lullymore and the Park’s ongoing efforts to rewild the peatlands.

Commissioned by Lullymore Heritage & Discovery Park and funded by Kildare County Council

Recent review from visitors from USA -

“ 10/10 - Great location outside of busy Dublin. Awesome cafe in town! The Stables were well built and maintained! I would stay here instead of staying in Dublin if traveling west.”

We've been quiet on social media these last few months - We've been experiencing our busiest Summer season to date for which we are eternally grateful.

As well as a busy summer, we have also been working on our exciting new project at Market Square with the exterior works almost complete. We're very much looking forward to the months ahead - watch this space!
