Ashford Castle, Ireland

Ashford Castle, Ireland

Just the thought of being inside a castle that was built in the 13th century is enough to send anyone into a realm beyond our own and to actually be able to live in it well that surpasses all imagination of knights, ladies, squires and maidens. We are transported to another time, a time of Camelot of honour and bravery, a time of legend and myths.
The history and lineage of this castle are as old and enduring as the castle itself. It speaks of royals and their ways, quiet and boisterous, magnificent and notorious. The castle has played host to a number of distinguished guests over the centuries which include King George V, an Emperor of India, Oscar Wild (who grew up near the estate), John Lennon, presidents and kings and queens.
The turrets and towers, the massive grounds and fairy tale like beauty are enough to convert even the sceptic into a romantic. Let the romance of the castle that compelled may a writer to his masterpiece draw you into its Medieval folds. Think history beyond history and then imagine yourself part of that history. Come live in today but also in a time that was.
