The Japanese Gardens of Tully were created between the years 1906 and 1910. Devised by Colonel William Hallwalker, a wealthy Scotsman of a famous brewery family, the Gardens were laid out in their paths of beauty by the Japanese Eida and his son Minoru. Planned to symbolise the life of Man, the landscapes are now of international renown and are acclaimed as the finest Gardens in Europe.
The Irish National Stud Company was formed in 1945. Its primary aim was to promote the interests of the Irish Bloodstock indstruy with a view to improving the quality of bloodstock in Ireland by providing the services of the highclass stallions on the farm.
The Stud at Tully consists of 958 acres of land. Provided on the farm are 288 boxes for the accommodation of mares, foals and stallions.
