Muckross House, Gardens & Traditional Farms
Muckross House stands in the midst of a densely wooded area of the 10,000 acre Muckross Demesne. The mansion was built in 1843 and was designed by William Burns. The grounds of the house consist of well laid out flower gardens, rockeries, shrubberies and lawns extending out to grassland, stately pine woods, and lake-shore. The traditional farms will transport you back to a time in Ireland when family life was much simpler.
Ross Castle
Ross Castle stands on the eastern shore of Lough Lein, where it adopts a commanding position. The castle is a very ancient one, thought to have been built in the 15th century. A spiral staircase of stone leads to the top, from whence a marvellous panorama can be viewed.
St. Mary's Cathedral
St. Mary's Cathedral was designed by A. W. N. Pugin (1812-1852). The foundation stone was laid inn 1842, and work on the building commenced and continued through the famine years. By 1853 many homeless people were housed in the completed aisles of the church, and under the "Griffiths Valuation Act", which came into being in that year, the church was classified as an auxiliary work-house.
