Woodland Walks
Wells House & Gardens
You can also explore the natural beauty of Wells House & Gardens as you meander through the beautiful woodlands and discover the fairies and Gruffalos hidden within the trees.
We have two woodland walks which are 1.2km each and promise to bring you on a journey of magic and wonder.
Lady Frances Woodland Walk
This original walk dates back to Lady Frances who lived in Wells when she married her husband Charles Mervyn. The walk was used as a form of exercise for the ladies of the house and also for inspiration for their paintings!
Since opening it has become home to the fairies of Wells House and Gardens and is one of Ireland’s most popular fairy trails. Along with our fairies the walk is also home to characters of the much loved Gruffalo walk, with a mouse, fox and even a snake! Spend time on this walk and create special memories that will last a lifetime.
Mogue’s Enchanted Walk
Named after the gardener from the Wells Estate, Mogue’s Enchanted Woodland Walk has become home to numerous trolls, bears, fairies, witches and wizards! See our 20ft high dragon, Drayco as the centre piece and allow your child’s imagination to run riot as part of your visit!

TOM & JESSIE BATES - TESTIMONIAL
“Two weeks ago we had our dream wedding in Wells House. It was an amazing and perfect day. Everyone at Wells made sure everything went smoothly and seamlessly. Leading up to the day the team in Wells were so supportive, knowledgeable and helpful in planning it all. The food was absolutely out of this world, we had a lot of happy guests and all the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We really had our fairy-tale wedding and we could not be happier. Wells is a beautiful place filled with beautiful people and I would recommend it to any brides or grooms to be.”
