If you are looking for stately grandeur then Castle Coole is a rare treat. Surrounded by its stunning landscape park on the edge of Enniskillen, this majestic 18th century home of the Earls of Belmore, designed by James Wyatt, was created to impress.

From the sumptuously furnished state rooms to the servants' quarters, Castle Coole is one of the finest neo-classical houses in Ireland. The surrounding wooded landscape park sloping down to Lough Coole is ideal for long walks.

Check out the magnificent State Bedroom with its sumptuous Regency furnishing prepared for a visit by George IV in 1821.

Hello!

I am a Lowry [historicly on my father's side] and I was told that my Grandmother's family once inhabited this home.
Of course, we all think we are related to such splendor so it's fun to explore the past.
We are descendents of Lord Lowry Of Tyron.
Many years ago my father had received letters from this family stating his historical connection.
So, does this mean what I was told is true?

Just Curious!
Thank you, Barbara
