Tannaghmore Gardens and Animal Farm

Silverwood Road, Lurgan, County Armagh, Northern Ireland, BT66 6LE, GBR, Armagh

The gardens are a popular venue for outings and family visits. The animal farm offers close encounters with many animals traditionally found on farms in Ulster 100 years ago. Many of these breeds are now rare and close to extinction. Within the gardens there are 17 different styles of traditional gates, named after local townlands. A stroll around the gardens will reveal interesting tree sculptures and it is possible to follow a tree trail of both native and exotic trees. A country-style play area has been constructed using wooden play equipment suitable for young children. A recent development has seen the construction of a large maze from gabion baskets and evergreen trees and at its centre is interpretive material telling the story of Master McGrath, the famous greyhound. The Park allows easy access to Craigavon City Park with its lovely lakes and mountain bike trails.
