Altamont House, 18th century manor house in Tullow, Ireland
Altamont House stands near the River Slaney, featuring ornamental gardens, a lake, and views of the Wicklow and Blackstairs mountains.
The central portion of the building dates from 1740, with later additions by the Dawson Borrer family who expanded it during the 1840s.
The Lecky Watson family acquired the property in 1923, developing extensive gardens with rare plant collections, including rhododendrons and azaleas.
The estate contains 40 acres of woodland gardens, including an ice age glen, bog garden, arboretum, and multiple walking paths through ancient oak trees.
A Wellingtonia tree, also known as Giant Redwood, grows in the gardens as a memorial to the Battle of Waterloo.
