Ancestral home of the Earls of Bantry, Bantry House is still the home of their descendant Egerton Shelswell-White and has been open to the public since the 1940s. The house is beautifully and elegantly furnished while the beautifully restored and terraced gardens are an absolute delight.

Constructed in the late 17th century, this is a classic example of a star-shaped fort. The magnificent fortress of 1677 is the largest military citadel in Ireland.

The one-hour tour includes an audio-visual presentation, followed by a tour of the wonderfully restored industrial complex.
