School Tours
Kylemore is the perfect destination for an Educational Tour.
From quizzes, and engineering talks to gardening programs, environmental studies and artistic opportunities, Kylemore offers classes of all ages the chance to learn and have fun.
The abbey and estate is steeped in history with tales of romance, tragedy and royal visits. There are amazing examples of innovative architectural and engineering initiatives such as hydro-electrical generators, bridge and causeway design, fire hydrant systems, dynamite explosions and sophisticated heating systems. Home to the Benedictine Nuns since 1920, it has been renowned as a place of spirituality and education.
The 6 acre Victorian walled garden is a magical place to explore. The garden is unique in that it only grows plants and vegetables which grew in Victorian times. Bananas and grapes are grown in the restored glass houses, just as they did back inthe 1870’s! There are nature trails and newly opened woodland walks ready to be explored.
We have devised three school tour programmes to choose from and can cater for some special requests.
