18th-century manor on a private estate, surrounded by the magnificent wild-beauty of Connemara
On a private 700-acre estate at the heart of Connemara, Ballynahinch Castle stands in a stunning, secluded location on the edge of the Owenmore River. It offers some of the finest views in Ireland, with surroundings that include mature woodlands and a backdrop of the Twelve Bens mountain range.
