Irish National Stud & Japanese Gardens, Kildare, Ireland

Irish National Stud & Japanese Gardens

Tully, Co. Kildare

The Japanese Gardens: The symbolism of life the gardens portray traces the journey of a soul from Oblivion to Eternity. The human experiences of the soul's embodiement as it journeys through the paths of life are displayed in the symbolic surrounds of each of the twenty stages throughout the garden. Each stage absorbs the mood and atmosphere of its representation. On descending the 'Hill of Learning' to the level of his fellow students he resists the temptation of the easy path and follows the more challenging rugged path of adventure which leads step by step through his adolescent years to the 'Parting of the Ways' Descending from the summit of the 'Hill of Ambition' the couple pause by the waterfall to pray to their god who makes the way easier and the bridge across the water smooth. Upon crossing, they reach the 'Tea House' and the miniature Japanese Village. On reaching the 'Well of Wisdom' the couple pause to wish for enlightment before crossing the "Red Bridge of Life' which leads them into the 'Garden of Peace and Contentment' beyond. The Irish National Stud: The farm at Tully, Kildare, which is today the home of the Irish National Stud, was the brainchild of Colonel William Hall-Walker, a Scotsman in 1900. He decided, much against the wishes of his father, to breed thoroughbred horses at Tully. Hall-Walker's views on breeding have been described as inspired, preposterous and eccentric. The ten stallion boxes with their distinctive lantern roofs stand as proof of his highly successful, extraordinary policies on breeding and management. He believed that the stars dictated the destiny of all living creatures. He therefore considered it very important that the moon and stars should exercise their maximum influence on their subjects and thus skylights were incorporated into the roofs of all stabling he built.
