Clonshire Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Hidden behind the farm buildings is Clonshire Castle. The area is now used as an equestrian centre but you can still get a good view of the ruins from the road.

Lake at Curragh Chase Forest Park

Highlight • Lake

Once the estate of the de Vere family, Curragh Chase Forest Park is a large area of parkland, trails, mixed forests, lakes, and an arboretum. The ruins of Curragh Chase House still stand in the park. It dates from the mid 16th century but was ravaged by fire in 1941 leaving nothing but the facade. You can also find a cafe within the grounds which makes a relaxing pitstop.

Askeaton Friary

Highlight • Historical Site

Follow the brown signs from the road for about 100m and you will find Askeaton Friary on the banks of the River Dee. It is thought to have been founded in around 1400. Guided tours of the extensive ruins are available. The original cloister is particularly impressive.
