Johnstown Castle The harmony between great Victorian revival castles and their surrounding ornamental grounds is rarely seen to such perfection as at Johnstown Castle. The mature woodlands and lakes of this demesne provide the perfect setting for this turreted, battlemented and machicolated castle of
gleaming silver-grey ashlar, built between 1810 and 1855 and incorporating part of a more ancient castle.

Hook Lighthouse
Visit one of the Oldest Operational Lighthouses in the World.

Hook Head, wild and elemental, tranquil and serene, in its serenity
hides the treachery which bewaits unsuspecting mariners.
Little wonder that William Marshall earl of Pembrokeshire undertook
the building of the lighthouse in the early 13^th century as a
navigational aid to guide his ships into Waterford Harbour.

Dunbrody Famine Ship
The original Dunbrody was a three-masted barque built in Quebec, Canada,
for the Graves family of New Ross, Co. Wexford in 1845.
She carried many emigrants to the new world from 1845-1870.

The Dunbrody Project involved the construction of a full scale sea-going replica.
The Dunbrody was finished in early 2001 and is now open to visitors at the
quayside in New Ross.
