Description

Built in 1722, Castletown is the largest and most significant Palladian-style country house in Ireland. Some twenty kilometres from Dublin, the mansion sits in grounds designed according to the 18th-century English style, with follies dotted over the landscape and great sweeping vistas across the parkland. The process of restoration is ongoing, so it is advisable to ring in advance to confirm that tours are available.
