Barmeath Castle, near Drogheda Co Louth

Originally the site of a medieval Castle of the Pale, it was enlarged in the mid 18th century into a Georgian mansion. In 1839 it was enlarged and castellated.  What was formerly the entrance front, gained two corner round towers and became the garden front. To one end of the side elevation, a new entrance was created with a romanesque arch and a square entrance tower, which acted as a porte cochère. On the other side, a long wing with turrets and castellation was added to create a courtyard.  The interior is intact Georgian with fine plasterwork and a staircase. 

The gardens owe much to Jeannie Jameson (the Irish whiskey family) was born in Ireland in 1890. She married Bryan Bellew, later Lord Bellew.  She looked after the garden  until she died in 1973
