The harmony between great Victorian revival
castles and their surrounding
ornamental
grounds is rarely seen to such perfection as
at Johnstown Castle.
The mature woodlands and lakes of this
demesne provide the perfect setting
for this
turreted, battlemented and machicolated
castle of gleaming silver-grey ashlar,
built |
 |
|
between 1810
and 1855 and incorporating part of a more ancient castle. |

Hook Lighthouse
Visit one of the Oldest
Operational Lighthouses in the World.
Hook Head, wild and elemental, tranquil and serene, in its serenity

the
building of the
lighthouse in the early 13th
century as a
navigational aid to guide his ships into Waterford Harbour. |
