Longstone Beacon Garden

Paul Doyle, A beautiful house of Victorian Irish country estate influence designed by Irish landscape architect Paul Doyle. Featuring ornamental timber detail and heavy Welsh slate and a lead half barrel roof. A Romanesque window soars upwards in the southern gable. A roof garden gives elevated views onto the 2 acre hill top garden and an enhanced view across 7 Irish counties from this historic Iron Age site. 12 foot tall iron and chrome light beacons designed by Paul Doyle are topped with solid crystal balls and illuminated from below. Contemporary blonde grasses provide gentle movement in the wind around the skunked terrace and contrast with the rich solid forms of Irish Yew.
