Larchill is a ferme ornée (ornamental farm-style garden), and the site of multiple follies, in the townland of Phepotstown near Kilcock, County Kildare, Ireland.
[3] The farm and garden form a rough rectangle, with scenic parkland walks, including beech avenues, linking key features.
Restored to a traditional 18th century formal design in the 1990s, the walled garden has multiple beds, including herb and vegetable sections, borders of perennial planting, box hedges, and water features.
A feature of the walled garden is the 'Cockle Tower', a circular castellated construction on three-levels in the south west corner.
The Gothic-style farmyard, in the form of two courtyards to north of the main house, has dovecotes, stable ranges and pigsties.
[citation needed] The ornamental lake has an area of around 8-acre (32,000 m2), with two islands, each featuring a folly, and a statue of Bacchus between them.
When the lake was dug in the 18th century, the soil from the excavation was used to form a "feuillé", a circular mound with a decorative spiral of beech trees on top.
