Yet to Restore
All these properties form the final
phase of the Castle Leslie
restoration project which
commenced in 1991.
Dinkin’s Lodge
Dawson’s Lodge
The Gothic Lodge
Garden and Gate Lodge
Gamekeepers Lodge
Victorian Laundry
Famine Wall
The Old Farmyard
The Famine Wall
This 41
⁄2 mile wall was part of a famine relief project by the family who cancelled rents and built soup kitchens. All the crews building the wall
were paid and fed. After this terrible time finally passed, the local people built the monument in Glaslough Village. We are planning to raise
funds for the restoration of the wall as it tells the stories of Irish and social history and of the many lives affected by it. Local rumours are that
it wasn’t built to keep the poachers out but to keep the eccentric Leslie family in.
Rookery
Home to around 25,000 rooks and
starlings who put on an amazing display
over the lake every sunrise and sunset
from Autumn to late Spring.
Tullyree/The Golf Course
This 100 acre field was due to become a
golf course in 1968 designed by Robert
Trent Jones Snr but was abandoned due
to the break out of the troubles. It is now
home to most of the cross-country fences
where horses rule!
The Integrated Wetlands
This is nature’s solution to natures problem. This
area is made up of 5 ponds, some being the old ice
ponds and over 25 species of flora and fauna. It is a
delightful area to wander. To find out more about
how this works, there is an information point here.
Horse Pond
Where the farm and carriage horses were
brought for a long drink on their way home
from a hard days work.
Pinetum
A Pinetum is an arboretum but specifically
planted with pines. These woods are dotted
with amazing specimens for you to spot
including the King and Queen - a pair of
specimen Sitka firs that stand over 120 ft tall.
Big Woods
This is part of the ancient
woodlands of Truagh and is
home to our 200 deer and
the Rookery.
The Old Farmyard
A working farmyard with
machines and livestock.
(Private: no public access)
The Estate... walks, trails and locations for residents of Castle Leslie Estate.
The Walled Garden
Built in the 1850’s as a kitchen garden, this was one of the most beautiful walled gardens in the
country. The restoration plan is now underway in terms of planning and raising funds. The aim is to
restore this garden as a working garden but also as a teaching garden with a coffee shop.
Suggested Walks
Times are from The Lodge walking at a lazy pace. Please read the guidelines overleaf before
heading out on your walk, as your safety is our prime concern.
1. Wetlands (30 - 45 minutes) - Wander around the wetlands and old ice ponds. This is
where they cut ice from in the early Victorian times to store for use in the Castle.
2. The Lake Shore (1 hour) - From the Castle, gently stroll down the lawns and Lime
Avenue, round to the lake shore for the best views of the Castle and to watch the horses
jumping through the lake. Do bring your camera!
3. Around Kilvey (11
⁄2 hours) - Walk down past the Castle, down the lawns and turn right
past the Old Stable Mews. Head straight for Kilvey lake, round the lake and home again.
4. Lawns and Green Lane (1 hour) - Walk down the lawns. Turn left at the end for the
Gothic Lodge, left down the Green Lane and home again. Watch out for galloping
and jumping horses on the Green Lane.
Lakes:
The Green Lake (Glaslough)
This great lake is a mile long and over 70ft deep full of monster pike and magical Herons.
It is filled by two deep springs. This is where we get our own bottled water.
Dream Lake
The lake got its name from the fact that it was once impossible to get to and only glimpses of
it could be caught. The crannog here is a very early celtic settlement.
Kilvey Lake
This is a very deep lake full of cannibal trout and surrounded by fairies.

The Castle exudes old world grandeur, offers complete respite
from the world and is the perfect setting in which to hold your next
meeting or event. It is a truly private retreat free from distractions
and intrusions of the outside world.
For small to medium sized meetings, choose from the Library,
Gallery or the Billiard room, or for larger meetings and events for
up to 280 people we have the Castle Pavilion located in the fountain
garden of the Castle overlooking the stunning Glaslough Lake.
Rooms suitable for small residential meetings are in abundance
at the Castle. Choose from The Library or The Billiard room for an
intimate meeting. For larger events utilising the Pavilion, rooms
suitable for casual breakout sessions are plentiful. Delegates can
brain storm in the magnificent Drawing Room with its grand piano
and famous De La Robbia fireplace, they can be inspired in the
hand painted Blue Room, divide and conquer into small groups in
the Long Gallery, or if floods of natural daylight is what’s needed we
have The Conservatory.
There’s little chance of anyone going hungry at the Castle. Private
dining options include a group dining experience on The Club Table
in The Gallery, a Gala Banquet in the Castle Pavilion, a stand up
buffet in the Long Gallery, or perhaps a much civilised Afternoon Tea
experience in the Blue Room or Conservatory.

the gallery
The works of art in this room are many. Sometimes it is
the artwork hanging on the walls, sometimes it’s the sumptuous
dinners that are served and all too often it’s the results from the
strategic meetings that are held here. All the time however, they are
masterpieces.
The Gallery is a beautiful and very adaptable room at the Castle.
It is traditionally home to the Club Table; one elegant dining table
that seats up to 44 guests for a very special dining experience.
Alternatively for a formal banquet The Gallery dines up to 75 guests
for lunch or dinner. Equally idyllic for a meeting; The Gallery
transforms to a conference location for up to 85 delegates providing
a most unique location for a symposium.

The Billiards Room was once home to the Castle’s billiards table,
thus the name, but it was decided it was such a shame to restrict
this exquisite room only for sport, and so we moved the billiards
table to another room to allow this stunning location to be used for
meetings, events and fabulous dinner parties.
Wander into this room on a non event day and you’ll discover
a delightful setting in which to read a book or enjoy a drink as its
many comfortable sofas, chairs and individual pieces of furniture
invite you to respite. However, like so many of the charming rooms
in the Castle, this room was also made to entertain or perform as
the backdrop for a successful meeting.
Accommodating up to 80 delegates for a conference, The
Billiards Room can also host a dinner for up to 60 people superbly.

the library
Home to a collection of the most unusual assortment of

located just next to The Billiards Room. Often used as a breakout
room from The Billiards Room or as a pre dinner drinks location,
this convivial room can be set for a meeting in its own right for up
to 25 guests.
With shelves and shelves of leather bound books, historical
records and even some modern novels, this enchanting room can
transform into an environment of learning with simple ease.

This room is aptly called The Long Gallery as it is a gallery
that is extremely long! In addition, it is also a very resourceful
room. It is where the lead up to the exquisite dining in the
Pavilion takes place offering a fabulous drinks reception. It is
where clients use as an exhibition space to showcase their latest
product. It is where delegates come to break out and brainstorm in
little pockets of groups within its alcoves. It is also where morning
and afternoon tea and coffee breaks are served for conference
delegates. The possibilities are plentiful in this very versatile and
very, very long gallery!

the pavilion
Located in the fountain garden of the Castle , the Pavilion
is a splendid marquee ballroom that can accommodate up to 280
people. Complete with a dedicated kitchen, stunning chandeliers
and its own private bar, this magnificent room is perfect for large
meetings, events and gala dinners.
The Pavilion is an inspirational setting for a meeting during the
day due to the abundance of natural daylight and the mesmerising
views of the woodlands and Glaslough Lake.
When night draws in, the Pavilion changes into a dramatically
different setting. This breathtaking room transforms into a
spectacular backdrop for an evening event. The lights are dimmed,
the candles are lit, the sound of laughter, music and conversation fills
the air and the wine is poured to accompany the most delicious dishes
ever served to your guests.

of the estate, the Courtyard Suite is the ideal location for a meeting
that requires total privacy and no distractions or intrusions. Clients
frequently host accommodation for their delegates at the Old
Stable Mews and use the Courtyard Suite as their meeting location
meaning that this secret crook of the estate is entirely theirs.
The Courtyard Suite is a bright and airy room. Breakouts often
take place in the courtyard gardens amidst the Mews on clear days.
