The Gardens have since been revitalised and invested into what we call Moira Demesne today. The Demesne provides visitors with a peaceful getaway from the picturesque town and bustling roads and railways near by. The demesne covers around 40 acres of land providing plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the beauty of nature and the outdoors. Moira Demesne has certain areas dedicated to biodiversity which gives the area a rich character as it has a wide variety of old trees emphasising the areas age and uniqueness.
