 Birr Castle Demesne is beautifully framed within a 120-acre demesne. This 17th-century castle is home for the past 400 years to the Parsons Family, who are celebrated for their remarkable scientific and engineering feats, including the world-famous Great Telescope (1845). Ideally situated in the midlands, an easy day trip from many parts of Ireland, Birr Castle Demesne is one of Ireland’s most intriguing destinations. Café and gift site also on shop. Prebooking essential with tickets available on www.birrcastle.com.

 Birr Castle Demesne is open year-round with lots of activities irrespective of the weather. Acres to explore, tree trails, playground and scientific centre. See www.birrcastle.com for more.
