Duckett's Grove (Irish: Garrán Duckett[1]) is a ruined 19th-century great house and former estate in County Carlow, Ireland. Belonging to the Duckett family, the house was formerly the focal point of a 12,000-acre (49 km2) estate,[2] and dominated the local landscape of the area for more than two centuries. [3] The interior of the house was destroyed by a major fire in the 1930s and is now inaccessible.[4] The surrounding gardens, including two inter-connecting walled gardens, are now managed by Carlow County Council and open as a public park.[5]
