Castle Coole
A National Trust-managed late 18th-century neoclassical mansion with intact Regency interiors, its estate woodland adjoining the town.
Castle Coole was designed by James Wyatt and completed in 1798. Its symmetrical, stately Portland stone façade makes it one of Ireland's finest neoclassical mansions. Guided tours cover the Regency furniture, the king's bedroom (prepared for George IV) and the servants' underground passage. Around 490 hectares of woodland and lakes offer walks and runs. Admission is about £14, and the house is a 2 km walk from the town centre.
