Céad míle fáilte and welcome to Castle Leslie Estate,
home to the Leslie family for over 300 years.
    There is a sense of renewal and new life all around us
at Castle Leslie Estate as we progress through spring time.

activity, spring is a time of regeneration, new beginnings,
and a renewal of spirit.
    We hope that you thoroughly enjoy your time with us
as you explore our part of Ireland. To truly get the most out
of your stay with us, we bring you a flavour of some of the
up and coming highlights at Castle Leslie Estate and in our
local area this spring time.

any of the team who are always genuinely delighted to help.
