Lismore Castle has been the Irish home of the Dukes of Devonshire since 1753 and is possibly the most spectacular castle in Ireland. Situated in a panoramic position overlooking the Blackwater Valley it has views over rolling hills to the Knockmealdown Mountains and beyond. Lord Charles Cavendish, the uncle of the present Duke, made Lismore his home with his wife Adele Astaire, the dancer and actress. After his death in 1944 she paid annual visits with her brother Fred Astaire.

Glin Castle was built in the 1780’s by Colonel John FitzGerald, Knight of Glin, and given battlements by his son in 1812. It faces across the Shannon Estuary to Co. Clare. It stands on the banks of the River Shannon and is surrounded by 500 acres of land.
