There is a Bronze Age burial tomb on the grounds and an old castle ruin was the seat of the Reynolds Clan up to the 17th century. Confiscation enabled the property to be granted to the Crofton family in 1622 during the Plantation period. The lands were then acquired by the Earls of Leitrim in 1750 and a house was constructed in 1832 by Nathaniel Clements. When his son, William Sydney Clements, succeeded as Third Earl of Leitrim, the house became the administrative centre of the vast estate covering 90,000 acres in four counties. A 400 year old oak tree adorns the grounds and there are Walled Gardens, a Sawmills and Farmyard, Arboretum, Green House and Terraced Gardens.
Lovely walks knit the whole glorious experience together.
A restaurant, souvenir shop, fast food facility, boat trips and children's nature playground are other features in the park. Show me all the details for Lough Rynn Estate 7. This was moved here to protect it from coastal erosion and was believed to be part of a long vanished monastery. The Annals of the Four Masters is one of the principal Irish historical sources for scholars. It was compiled in 1636 by Miceal O Cleirigh, O.F.M and three of his colleagues.
