Experience Description
The historic and literary associations of Lissadell and the wild dramatic natural
beauty of its setting surrounded by mountains, sea and woodlands makes
Lissadell House a must visit heritage attraction in the NorthWest. Follow in
the footsteps of the poet W. B. Yeats in wandering through this beautifully
restored estate on the shores of the Atlantic. Childhood home of Constance
and Eva Gore-Booth, built by Sir Robert Gore-Booth in 1830 and designed by
Francis Goodwin, the house is now fully restored and open daily for guided
tours with expert guides. Learn about Victorian life both upstairs for the
gentry and downstairs for the servants. French and German guides available
on request.
