THROWBACK THURSDAY - CASTLE LESLIE IN COUNTY MONAGHAN Take a journey with the guys as Sir Jack Leslie shows the guys the Grand Tour of Castle Leslie! More about Castle Leslie - One of the most interesting of Irish family Estates in its own right, with an amazing blend of creative and artistic, a family full of poets, writers, businessmen and ambassadors, ufologist, Lough Ness monster hunters and more! Throw in to the mix marriages to some amazing East Coast families;the Jeromes, The Clay Ides and Burke Cockran for a fascinating and absorbing American Irish history. Set it on 1000 acres of rolling parkland with ancient trees and glittering lakes teeming with wildlife. Situated on the border, in many ways it got frozen in time, it was spared the excess of the “celtic tiger”, and is one of the most complete intact estates in Ireland. Add 20 years of work and dedication developing the estate and business from leaking seasonal Tea Rooms with a handful of part time staff to the current operations with a team of well over 140. Combine all of this with the fact it is one of only a handful of Castles and Estates in Ireland still home to their founding family. The only one operating on such a scale, it has now become one of the most individual and best loved places to stay in Ireland. And so there you have it! Mind you, after saying all of that, it is still quite difficult to put your finger on exactly what makes it so magical! So, please take this as an invitation to come, see and experience it for yourself. youtu.be/9xPIDoiCAT0
