The cache location
This 18th-centry manor is set on 350 acres of park land, 12
miles north of the center of Dublin city. It boasts one of the
finest Georgian interiors in Ireland.
Each room, which are open to the public, has its own style of
original furniture. The house appears almost as it did 150 years
ago.
Built in 1740 and designed by James Gibb for the Archbishop of
Dublin, the house contains elaborate stucco plasterwork by Robert
West. The atmosphere also has the presence of a fully restored
courtyard surrounded by a dairy, an estate worker's house, a
carpenter's shop and a blacksmith's forge. Each of these display
19th-century tools and implements.
On the grounds is also a 29-acre traditional farm, complete with
animals -- a delight to any young visitor or school tours and large
groups.
