Carton House was one of Irelands greatest stately homes[citation needed] and one time ancestral seat of the Earls of Kildare and Dukes of Leinster. Located 14 miles (23 km) west of Dublin, in Maynooth, County Kildare, the Carton demesne runs to 1,100 acres (4.5 km²). For two hundred years it possessed the finest example in Ireland of a Georgian-created parkland landscape. In the 2000s much of the estate was redeveloped into two golf courses and the house into a hotel complex.
