Lismore Castle
★★★★★
Lismore Castle is the Irish home of the Duke of Devonshire; it belonged to the Earls of Desmond, and subsequently to the Dukes of Devonshire from 1753. It was largely re-built in the Gothic style during the mid-nineteenth century by William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire.
The castle features superb gardens, which are open to the public. The upper garden is a 17th-century walled garden, while much of the informal lower garden was designed in the 19th century.
