Set within several hundred acres of rolling parkland and woodland in Co Carlow, Lisnavagh’s Healthy Harvest Day Retreat allows you to be present with bountiful produce and expert tuition and knowledge from Andrew and Holly.
Begin the day with a seasonal talk led by Lisnavagh’s own growing expert, Andrew Jordan, who will share practical insights on working with nature, planting for the months ahead, crop management and reconnecting with the rhythms of the land.
From the garden to the table, guests will then move indoors for a vibrant plant powered recipes demonstration with wellness advocate and influencer Holly White, exploring how fresh, plant-powered ingredients can support energy and balance for the winter ahead.
The experience concludes with a delicious, seasonal plant-based lunch prepared by the Lisnavagh kitchen — wholesome, colourful and deeply satisfying — enjoyed in the relaxed surroundings of the estate and leave with a small goody bag filled with delicious foods from the Estate.

Get out and about and explore all that Carlow’s wonderful towns and villages have to offer. Today we explore #Myshall
Myshall sits at the foot of the northern slopes of the Blackstairs Mountains. The mountains provide a stunning backdrop to the lush pasturelands and winding country roads. Additionally, Myshall is part of the scenic Mount Leinster Heritage Drive. This route offers visitors breathtaking views of Mount Leinster and the Nine Stones vantage point.
Myshall offers a rich religious history, and is the birthplace of notable saints, St. Finian and St. Columbanus. The village’s spiritual heritage is reflected in its most famous landmark, the Adelaide Memorial Church.
The Adelaide Memorial Church often described as an “exquisite church of rare beauty,” is a stunning architectural piece modelled after Salisbury Cathedral in England. This architectural gem was completed in 1912 by John Duguid of Dover. It was created in memory of his wife, Adelaide, who passed away in 1903. His daughter, Constance, also inspired the church’s creation after she tragically died in a riding accident near the village.
This exquisite church features intricate details such as marble, mosaic, woodcarvings, stained glass, and ironwork. The craftsmanship and attention to detail make it a significant attraction for visitors interested in history, architecture, and art.
To visit the church, you can contact Mrs. Bridie Daly, who holds the key (059-9157671. White bungalow opposite the church grounds). Please call in advance to arrange access. Alternatively, you can reach John Kelly at 059-9157584 or 087-9293661 for more information or assistance with your visit.
