The Irish Heritage Trust, a charity, was created in 2006 to care for historic properties, houses and gardens throughout Ireland. With our passion for exceptional places, we hope to bring benefits to local communities through tourism, employment or simply by providing an atmosphere for pleasure and relaxation.
In December of 2007, we acquired Fota House on Fota Island, Co. Cork. Click here to learn more about Fota House, its beautiful Gardens and Arboretum, our Volunteers and our Learning & Access Programmes.
