After a short hike on a very well maintained nature road you are flashed from the very first moment you see these towers. The building fits perfectly into the rich nature surrounding it. Please take your time to enjoy and explore the and have a look at all the tiny details. I had goosebumps everytime when the sun glimpsed through the clouds. I had this monument on my wish list already for some time. This was one of the most beautiful farewell presents during my Ireland trips. My husband's favorite of our 2nd trip to Ireland. Very pretty between the two locations. Whole thing took us about 1hr to and explore comfortably. Der "Two Walk" führt entlang zu der Brücke mit den Türmen. Sehr beeindruckender Anblick. Weiter geht es zu den Lodges, ebenfalls sehenswert. Für etwas abenteuerlustige führt ein schmaler, kurzer Pfad bei der Brücke hoch zum Wasserfall. Der Weg zum Wasserfall ist nicht direkt ersichtlich und eher moderat bis schwer, je nach Wetterlage. Der Wanderweg geht ungefähr 30-60 Minuten. Wir waren während der ganzen Ueit komplett alleine dort. Direkt vorne gibt es einen "Car Park". Absolut empfehlenswert. These sit alone in a wooded area a short hike from the main road. The well kept footpath is fairly accessible but a little steep for wheelchairs. The themselves are free to around and view. It is an impressive ruin but sadly there is very little information available. The visit is worth it and very photogenic, but it probably won't capture your time for very long A lovely spot that’s definitely worth a visit! The is peaceful and takes about 35 minutes at an easy pace. The paths are smooth and easy to follow, with benches along the way where you can rest. There’s also a picnic area right next to the car park. For an easier start, begin the route from the left side – the climb is gentler that way. The car park fits around 15–17 cars. A Gothic Folly with a Dark Irish Heart Ballysaggartmore may look like a fairytale gatehouse, but its story is pure Irish tragedy. Built in the 1830s by Arthur Kiely-Ussher to flaunt his wealth, it became a monument to arrogance — he bankrupted himself trying to outshine his neighbours. Worse still, during the Great Famine he evicted hundreds of starving tenants. Some allegedly plotted to assassinate him, but were caught and transported to Tasmania — a grim twist in an already cruel tale. Now the stand alone in the woods, moss-covered and magnificent — a haunting reminder that vanity crumbles, but history never quite does. Always wanted to visit this Folly,rich people who ran out of money ...nice waterfall if you follow the water up also. Plus a lovely gentleman selling coffee and soup at the entrance and car park A lovely - two sets of to see. Once parked we walked up the hill on the right, reached the first set of and then turned left through the first set and on to the second, where there is also a waterfall & picnic bench. A beautiful place to walk! We met someone who knew one of the people who used to live in the tower - which was really interesting to hear about. Really beautiful, however small. I would suggest reading the history board before reaching it (that is next to the car parking). Otherwise you would miss why it is there and why it was never finished. Entrance and parking are free. There was a small coffee/snacks wagon at the parking, which looked very cute. Unfortunately we were in the rush and couldn't enjoy the cup of coffee Hidden in the forrest you will find this lost castle. Definitely worth a vist. Hidden treasure worth the stop We went with a 2, a 4 and sn 8 year old. They had a wonderful time. Ballysaggartmore Lodges is a truly magical spot tucked away just outside Lismore. The forest leading up to the iconic gothic arches is peaceful, scenic, and perfect for anyone who enjoys nature with a touch of fairytale charm. The trails are well maintained and easy to follow, making it ideal for families, casual walkers, or photographers looking for that perfect shot. On Fridays and Saturdays there is a lovely coffee truck that serves fresh coffee, Irish still and sparkling lemonades, tea and hot chocolate! It's a family run business and the old man is super nice. Really nice short to the and the grand lodge was also worth looking at. Great for Game of thrones enthusiasts.
