THE IRISH HERITAGE TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Irish Heritage Trust Company Limited by Guarantee is a charitable organisation dedicated to preserving and sharing some of Ireland's most prestigious historic houses, gardens and museums. By caring for properties such as Fota House in Cork, Strokestown Park in Roscommon (home to the National Famine Museum) and Johnstown Castle in Wexford (which houses the Irish Agricultural Museum), the Trust offers visitors a vivid glimpse into the country's social, cultural and natural heritage.

Through expertly guided tours, the Trust brings the stories of the Irish gentry, their staff and tenants to life, while its sustainably managed landscapes showcase restored arboretums, glasshouses, ornamental and kitchen gardens, rare plant collections and tranquil woodlands. In addition, the nationally accredited museums provide compelling insights into Ireland's famine history and agricultural traditions, catering to families, school groups and heritage enthusiasts alike.

Supported by members, volunteers and donors, the Irish Heritage Trust keeps these remarkable sites open and accessible, inviting the public to explore, learn and connect with the heart of Ireland's past.
