Every year at the end of August there is an open day at Aughnanure castle.
This is a fantastic event for grown ups and children alike and the locals keep coming here the same as the tourists every year - just for the fun of it. There is music, crafts displayed and lots of little children running happily around with painted faces.
A fabulous way to spent a couple of hours relaxing and enjoying the beautiful grounds.
Start from the car park, then slowly ramble along the river feasting your eyes on the wonderful and rich summer green. Go across the bridge and through the thick entrance gates and here you are!! it is a beautiful welcome with colourful flags flapping in the breeze.
Follow me and you shall see!!
