Tullynally Castle And Gardens

A turreted and towered Gothic Revival manor, this creamy white castle home is dazzling. It has been the home of the Pakenham family, the earls of Longford, since 1655. The highlights include a great hall that rises two stories, with a ceiling of plaster Gothic vaulting, filled with family portraits, china, and antique furniture. There's a strangely fascinating collection of workaday 19th-century gadgets. Frustratingly, the building itself is only open to prebooked groups (and with a minimum charge of €250 it's unrealistic but all for the largest ones). However, the 12-hectare (30-acre) grounds are an attraction in themselves, with woodland walks, a linear water garden, a Victorian grotto, and an avenue of 200-year-old Irish yew trees. Tullynally is near Lough Derravaragh, an idyllic spot featured in the legendary Irish tale The Children of Lir. There is also a cafe and a plant shop on the grounds.
