Welcome
Visiting the North West of Ireland?
Don’t miss out on a trip to view the imposing ruins of Manorhamilton Castle, in Co. Leitrim, whose recent restoration has transformed it into a fascinating tourist attraction.
Dramatic History
The massive ruins of this 17th century stronghold dominate the picturesque town of Manorhamilton. The Castle around which the town grew has a dramatic and colourful history – stories of which live on in the town to this day.
The Castle overlord Sir Frederick Hamilton was to become a bye-word for cruelty down the centuries as a result of his brutality in suppressing uprisings led by the O’Rourke Chieftains whose land he had seized.
Guided Tours
All this and more can be experienced at the Castle Heritage Centre which features a permanent exhibition and provides guided tours of the Castle grounds.
