After the success of our first ‘VIP Tour’ of Oakfield Park I was delighted to make use of myself and lead the good folks from Finn Valley Gardening Club around the walled garden of Oakfield Park in Raphoe, County Donegal.
The tour was organised with Finn Valley Gardening Club and Oakfield Park (if your group would like to book a tour drop Oakfield Park an email via their website).
This tour starts at the Car Park and comes up the driveway of the house and around the luxurious walled garden area…and is then complete with some refreshments and a spin on the train…a fabulous day out for any group of friends or society.
