Located less than a five minute walk from public transit and with free parking available, this unique space allows families to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of a true urban garden. The farm & gardens at Airfield Estate are a perfect working example of environmentally sustainable agriculture & horticulture in Ireland. Airfield is a working 38-acre farm with a milking Jersey herd, Jacob sheep, Oxford sandy and black pigs, Saneen goats, Rhode Island red hens and donkeys to name but a few.
