Tullynally Castle

Tullynally Castle is set in beautiful parkland and woods adjoining Lough Derravaragh, it is now probably the largest castle in Ireland still lived in as the family home.

The room include a number of attractive early nineteenth-century drawings of the castle, a collection of old weapons, family portraits and an Irish elk’s head dug up out of a bog - once a familiar feature of Irish country house halls. One of the most fascinating features of Tullynally Castle is surely the rooms below stairs. Visitors can tour the splendid kitchen with its great ovens, a great pestle and mortar, an early ice chest and a dresser with gleaming brassware.
