Glebe Gallery

Glebe House and Glebe Gallery are located just outside the town of Letterkenny near Churchill. The house was built in 1828. The English portrait and landscape painter Derek Hill lived and worked there from 1954 until he presented the house and his art collection to the Irish state in 1982. Hill's former studio has been converted into a modern gallery with changing exhibitions while his art collection is shown in his former home together with European and oriental furniture and William Morris wallpapers and fabrics. The collection includes works by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Louis le Brocquy, Graham Sutherland, Auguste Renoir, Jack Butler Yeats, Oskar Kokoschka, Patrick Swift and the native Tory Island painter, James Dixon. Run by the Office of Public Works the gallery is open for a limited season each year - around Easter and then from June to the end of September. Access to the permanent collection in Glebe House is by guided tour only. The woodland gardens, which border Lough Gartan, are open all year round. In May 2023, an outdoor classroom for the local Gartan National School to interact with arts, culture and nature in a holistic manner, was opened on the premises. In July 2024 it attained full-accreditation from the Heritage Council’s Museum Standards Programme for Ireland for maintaining its mark of excellence. In September that year, the gallery and house both closed to facilitate conservation works; and in November it received a green flag award for sustainability in its parks and green spaces. In January 2025, the gallery was re-opened when conservation work finished, with the house remaining closed until conservation works there finish in the summer. References
Гленкерн-хаус

Гленкерн-хаус (англ. Glencairn House) — официальная резиденция посла Великобритании в Ирландии с 1950-х годов по настоящее время. Особняк находится в южной части Дублина, на Мёрфистаун-роуд в районе Лепардстаун. История Владельцами Гленкерн-хауса были представители семьи Грессонов. У них поместье и особняк приобрёл судья Высокого суда в Ирландии Джеймс Мёрфи, который был известен своим «сердечным гостеприимством». При нём Гленкерн-хаус стал одним из центров общественной жизни Дублина. После смерти Мёрфи в 1901 году его наследники продали поместье Ричарду Крокеру, американскому политику ирландского происхождения и ведущему деятелю политической организации Таммэни Холл в Нью-Йорке. В апреле 1999 года особняк и поместье были проданы Министерству иностранных дел Великобритании за 24 миллиона фунтов стерлингов. В 2000 году британским правительством было куплено ещё одно поместье в Марли-Грейндж, недалеко от Марли-парк. Посол продолжал жить в Гленкерн-хаусе, пока в Марли-Грейндж шёл ремонт. Последующая оценка затрат показала рентабельность полного выкупа Гленкерн-хауса в сравнении с продолжением ремонта в Марли-Грейндж. В 2007 году британское правительство продало поместье в Марли-Грейндж, так и не заняв его. Остановка Продажа земли способствовала приобретению территории для продления Зелёной линии скоростного трамвая — Луэс — Сэндифорд до Черривуда и строительства остановки. Железнодорожное полотно было проложено перед воротами и домиком охраны резиденции посла. Линия начала работать в 2010 году. Остановка возле ворот посольской резиденции называется «Гленкерн». Недалеко от самой резиденции находится выезд с трассы М50. Примечания
Glengarra Wood

Glengarra Wood is a mixed woodland in Ireland located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) southwest of Cahir, County Tipperary off the M8 motorway and R639 road. Approximately 570 hectares (1,400 acres) in extent, it is situated on Old Red Sandstone on the southern slopes of the Galtee Mountains. It is mainly a coniferous forest with Sitka spruce being the main species. Other conifer species present include Scots pine, Japanese larch, Douglas fir, Norway spruce, western hemlock and western red cedar. The area also contains approximately 50 hectares (120 acres) of native oak, birch and alder. Animals present include fallow deer, foxes, badgers, hares and red squirrels. Birds include pheasants, hawks, kestrels, ravens, herons and many song birds. History Glengarra property was formerly part of the Shanbally Estate, between Burncourt and Clogheen, which was owned by Viscount Lismore. During the 19th century he built a lodge (which is now An Óige youth hostel ) about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) up from the main road. He planted the area along the river and road leading to the lodge with many native and exotic trees. Some of those that are still present are cedars of Lebanon, Sequoiadendron, spruces, pines, laurel and a variety of arboreal rhododendron. Glengarra Wood is a Millennium Forest Project site. A number of these projects were developed in the Irish countryside in the year 2000 as part of a government initiative to plant one native tree for every household in Ireland. The Glengarra project is 15 hectares (37 acres) in size and contains approximately 60,000 trees, mainly oak with some birch, alder and Scots pine as well. Public amenity There are two waymarked trails on the site. A 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) loop walk starts at a car park and is waymarked in red. It goes across a river and through many different stands of trees, back over the river again, down a forest road, in through more forest before ending back at the car park. The Millennium Walk, which is about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) long, commences at the top of the car park and is signposted by stakes with a green arrow and oak leaf on them. There is a small car park about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) up the road to the An Óige Hostel which contains signage and information on the Millennium Forest. It stretches from about 120 metres (390 ft) to about 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level and there are a number of viewing points looking south to the lowland Golden Vale and the Knockmealdown Mountains.

Glengarriff Forest

Glengarriff Forest is an area of woodland near Glengarriff, West Cork, Ireland. Most of the woodland is a nature reserve in public ownership which is sometimes referred to as Glengarriff "forest park" or "state forest". Glengarriff Forest is one of the best examples in the country of oceanic sessile oak woodland. It is part of the much larger Glengarriff Harbour & Woodlands Special Area of Conservation (SAC). History In the eighteenth century the woods were acquired by the White family for whom the title Earl of Bantry was created. The Earls of Bantry were responsible for planting some of the trees which are alive in the twenty-first century. In 1955, ownership of 380ha of the woods passed to the state which used them for commercial forestry purposes. Extensive planting of conifers occurred, and many of the oldest oak trees were felled or ring-barked. In the 1970s, the ecological value of the remaining areas of oak was recognised and in 1991 a Nature Reserve was designated. Glengarriff Woods Nature Reserve covers some 300ha and is managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service for conservation and amenity. Some conifers have been replaced with oak trees. Flora and fauna Sika deer have been recorded, but regeneration of the forest suffers less from grazing than the similar woods at Killarney where there is a larger deer population. The mild climate favours Hiberno-Lusitanian species, such as the Kerry slug, which are to be found in south-west Ireland and the Iberian peninsula. The Kerry slug thrives in the forest's oak trees, and is a "selection feature" of the Special Area of Conservation. Another example of a Lusitanian species to be found in the forest is the Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo). References External links Glengarriff Nature Reserve Website

Ardee Castle

Ardee Castle (auch St. Leger’s Castle, irisch Caisleán Bhaile Átha Fhirdhia) ist ein Tower House in der Castle Street in Ardee im irischen County Louth. Das Tower House wurde im 15. Jahrhundert erbaut, diente im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert als Gefängnis und später, bis Juni 2006 als Gerichtsgebäude des Distrikts. Ardee Castle ist das größte mittelalterliche Tower House auf den britischen Inseln. Die Burg ließ ursprünglich Roger de Peppard im Jahre 1207 errichten, aber von den originalen Mauern ist nicht mehr viel erhalten. Das Gebäude gilt als National Monument. Beschreibung Das rechteckige Gebäude ist vier Stockwerke hoch. Ecktürme sitzen an der Nordwest- und der Südwestecke. Der Haupteingang war außen durch ein Maschikuli und innen durch ein Mörderloch gesichert. Das Erdgeschoss hat eine Tonnengewölbedecke. Im Nordwestturm führt eine Wendeltreppe zu den oberen Geschossen. Das Gebäude wurde ununterbrochen genutzt, daher wurden die meisten Fenster im Laufe der Zeit ausgewechselt und modernisiert, aber im Erdgeschoss ist ein zweiflügliges Kielbogenfenster erhalten und im 3. Obergeschoss drei einfache Bogenfenster, deren Laibungen innen ausgeschrägt sind. Geschichte St. Leger’s Castle ließ John St. Leger im 15. Jahrhundert erbauen und es diente als Festung zur Verteidigung des Pale. Über die Jahre wurde es von den O’Neils und auch von den Engländern angegriffen und der englische König Jakob II. nutzte es vor der Schlacht am Boyne sogar als Hauptquartier. 1641 nahm Sir Phelim O’Neil die Stadt in Besitz und richtete im Tower House das Hauptquartier der irischen Armee ein, aber bei deren Rückzug nahmen englische Truppen unter dem Kommando von Sir Henry Tichborne Stadt und Burg erneut ein und richteten eine Garnison ein; O’Neils Nachhut wurde besiegt.

Ardee Castle

Ardee Castle also known as St. Leger's Castle, is a fortified medieval tower house in Ardee, County Louth in Ireland. Built in the 15th century, the castle was used as a prison during the 17th and 18th centuries and became Ardee's district courthouse until June 2006 when a specialised facility took its place. Ardee Castle is the largest fortified medieval Tower House in Ireland or Britain. The castle was originally built by Roger de Peppard in 1207, but not much is left from the original walls. History St. Leger's Castle was built in the 15th century by John St. Leger and it served as a stronghold for the defence of the Pale. Over the years it was fought over by the O'Neills and the English. In 1641 Sir Phelim O'Neill took possession of the town and set up the Irish Army headquarters, but on the retreat the town and castle were retaken by the English Forces under the command of Sir Henry Tichborne, a garrison was then placed and O'Neill's rear-guard was defeated. In 1690 the castle was used by James II as his headquarters prior to the Battle of the Boyne. Location St Leger's Castle is located on Castle Street in Ardee. Structure The rectangular building stands four storeys high, with turrets situated at the north-west and south-west angles, the main entrance was protected by a machicolation on the outside, with a 'murder-hole' on the interior. The ground floor has a rounded barrel vault, and access to the upper storeys is by means of a stairway in the north-west turret. As the structure has been in continuous use, most of the windows have been replaced and modernised over time, however a twin-light ogee-arched window survives at ground level and three single looped, internal splay windows survive on the fourth floor.

Замок Арді

Замок Арді (англ. Ardee Castle, ірл. Caisleán na Baile Átha Fhirdhia) — замок Балє Ахі Фірдіа, замок Міста Броду Фірдія — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в шграфстві Лаут (Лу), в одноіменному місті Арді, на березі річки Ді, на перетині доріг N2, N52 та N33, на відстані 12 миль від міст Дандалк та Догеда. Нині замок Арді є пам'яткою історії та архітектури Ірландії національного значення. Історія замку Арді Замок Арді отримав свою назву від імені легендарного героя Фірдія, що жив в часи королеви Коннахта Медб. Фердія мав чотириденний бій з іншим легендарним героєм — Кухуліном і загинув у цьому бою. Битва відбулася якраз в цих місцях, похований він був на південних берегах річки. Нині в місті поставлений йому пам'ятник. У давнину ця місцина називалась рівнина Муйремне. Замок і місто були побудовані в основному в XV столітті. На захід від замку є одне з найбільших боліт в Ірландії. Замок Арді, що відомий також як замок Святого Леґера — це один із найбільших баштового типу в Ірландії, що збереглися до нашого часу. Замок Арді побудований у XV столітті на місці більш давнього замку. Найперший замок на цьому місці збудував у 1207 році англо-норманський феодал Роджер де Пеппард. У XV столітті замок, що стоїть до нашого часу збудував феодал Джон Санкт-Леджер (Сен-Леже). Замок займав стратегічне положення і відігравав ключеву роль в обороні англійських володінь в Ірландії від нападів непокірних ірландських кланів. Замок стояв на північному кордоні англійської колонії Пейл. Далі на північ були землі ірландських кланів. У ХІІІ — XVIII століттях замок був в руках англійців. Під час чергової війни за незалежність Ірландії в XVII столітті замок спробував захопити ірландський ватажок з клану О'Нейлл (О'Ніл) — сер Фелім О'Ніл. У 1641 році під час повтання за незалежність Ірландії йому вдалося захопити замок і деякий час він використовував його як опорний пункт. Тут він формував загони ірландської армії для війни з англійською владою. Замок відбив і взяв штурмом англійський офіцер сер Генрі Тічборн. Потім в замку був англійський гарнізон. Маркіз Ормонд віддав наказ англійському гарнізону замку знищити замок і місто Арді разом з його жителями ще до прибуття військ Олівера Кромвеля, але цей наказ не було виконано. Під час так званих вільямітських (якобітських) війн наприкінці XVII століття замок контролював король-католик Яків ІІ і використовував замок для підготовки до битви на річці Бойн. У XVII — XVIII століттях у замку була в'язниця. Потім і до недавнього часу в замку розміщувався суд. Поруч біля замку є Стрибаюча церква. Легенда говорить, що в давні часи ця церква була нехристиянською і одного разу вистрибнула з християнських стін.
