Using the landscape outside the house as an outside classroom, pupils can explore the wildflower meadow, cross a ha-ha or sunken fence on their way to the garden temple or, time permitting (about 15 mins walk each way from the house) make their way to the river Liffey at the bottom of the meadow.
A Nature Trail booklet including a landscape map, wildflower pictures and descriptions to help you find them along with information on trees and water courses is available at Castletown House.
