Gormanstown —County Meath
Just a few kms south of Drogheda lies Gormanston Castle. Built in 1768 by Sir Jelico Preston on the site of the original castle dating from 1372, the castle has a fine quadrangular castellated edifice and a turret adorns each of the castle's corners except for the northwest corner. The castle was extended by the Franciscan Fathers who presently utilise it as a boys' secondary school.
