Welcome to
Castle Leslie Estate
On behalf of Sammy and the Leslie Family, my team
and I, we wish to extend a very warm greeting to you.
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.
Seeds sprout, flowers bloom, and the sun warms the earth.
While winter was a time to conserve energy and reduce
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.
We look forward to being of service and if we can be of
any assistance during your visit, please do not hesitate to ask
any of the team who are always genuinely delighted to help.
Brian Baldwin
Estate General Manager
