About the Work

Situated on the shore of Lough Corrib, Ashford Castle has been renowned for over eight centuries, passing through the hands of esteemed lords and ladies, as well as several generations of the Guinness family, who eventually transferred the property to the Irish government. Over the years, the castle has hosted visitors ranging from King George V and Prince Rainier III of Monaco to Oscar Wilde and John Lennon. The Hollywood production of The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne, even used the castle as a setting. This publication celebrates the newly renovated Ashford Castle, which now boasts modern amenities such as a cinema, spa, and suites named after former American Presidents Reagan and Kennedy, both of whom were guests. It is a tribute to Ireland’s castles, which serve as repositories of the country’s history and legend.
