Newcastle House
Steeped in history and located in the heart of Ireland, Newcastle House is a 300-year-old manor house, set on the banks of the River Inny near Ballymahon, in Co. Longford. Standing on 44 acres of mature parkland and surrounded by 900 acres of forest, Newcastle House is only one and half hour’s drive from Dublin, making it an excellent base to see, explore and enjoy the natural wonders of Ireland. So whether you are looking for a peaceful place to stay (to get away from it all) or perhaps need a location to hold an event, or that most important wedding, give them a call. Also an ideal place for a relaxing lunch or dinner, offering a full menu with great choice for the discerning diner.
Newcastle Wood was once part of Newcastle Demesne, an estate of some 11,000 hectares run by the King- Harman family in the 1800’s. The beautiful, historic nearby Newcastle House was where the King- Harmans lived and there are many features and place names in the woodland which refer back to that time. The Inny below Newcastle Bridge has plentiful rapids and canoeing is popular along with fishing in the area.
