Duckett’s Grove, the 18th, 19th and early 20th century home of the Duckett family, was formerly at the centre of a 12,000 acre (4,856 hectares) estate that has dominated the Carlow landscape for over 300 years. Duckett’s Grove, the 18th, 19th and early 20th century home of the Duckett family, was formerly at the centre of a 20,000 acre (8,093 hectares) estate that has dominated the Carlow landscap

e for over 300 years. Even in ruin, the surviving towers and turrets of Duckett’s Grove form a romantic profile making it one of the most photogenic historic buildings in the country. Two Georgian kitchen gardens form part of the complex where the old paths have been revealed and the beds and borders reinstated. The courtyard area features three craft studios occupied by artisan craft makers who specialise in wood turning, stained glass and candlemaking and are open on selected days during the week.
