Johnstown Castle Garden has fifty acres of ornamental grounds. The famous architect Daniel Robertson designed both Johnstown Castle gardens and Powerscourt gardens. Johnston Castle is not open to visitors. The grounds contain a wide variety of trees and shrubs representing the best aspects of a formal and wild garden. The grounds are greatly enhanced by two lakes with folly towers and are populated with a range of waterfowl. Pleasant pathways meander through the pleasure grounds they are superbly presented to the visitor. Frequently there are glimpses of the castle shimmering in the waters of the lake from extensive walks in tranquil, tree dotted, pleasure grounds. In the old world former farmyard is the extensive and well laid out Irish Agricultural Museum. In July and August a small café here provides teas. The grounds also have a large and well-equipped picnic area.
