There could hardly be a better location in County Carlow to practise the principles of mindfulness and to begin to understand about its helpful benefits to our daily lives. Altamont Gardens, often referred to as one of Ireland’s top three gardens, is a superb setting to re-connect with nature and experience the restorative power of its trees and well-maintained landscapes.

This walk provides down-to-earth and practical tips to reconnect for improved mental and physical health and psychological well-being. Learn simple mindfulness techniques which take as little as two minutes to incorporate into your daily routine.
The walk starts in the main formal garden before continuing to the informal gardens and the Ice Age Glen with its canopy of ancient oaks and huge stone outcrops and from there to the riverside walk along the River Slaney. Walkers then climb the famous “100 steps” to return to the start of the walk and some well-deserved treats from Sugar and Spice Café in Altamont Walled Gardens.
