Before I was invited to see inside Leixlip Castle, I photographed outside. The dogs led me around.

 “In the garden of Leixlip, behind the castle, are two further and more recent additions. The first of these is a fine Gothick greenhouse by David Sheennan, of rectangular plan with chamfered outer corners, built against a high garden wall. A fully glazed roof rises from the walls, which are of brick construction with cobbled infill, cast ball finials, and Gothick windows.”
