Portumna Castle & Gardens

Portumna, Ireland, Ireland

Portumna Castle & Gardens is a beautifully restored 17th-century castle located in Portumna, County Galway, on the shores of Lough Derg near the River Shannon. Built by Richard Burke, the 4th Earl of Clanricarde, it is a notable example of early Irish architecture that blends medieval defensive features with Renaissance design. A major fire in 1826 left the castle in ruins, but extensive restoration work has brought much of it back to life. Visitors can explore the ground-floor exhibition, stroll through the elegant formal gardens and historic walled kitchen garden, and enjoy scenic views of the surrounding landscape. Its location beside Portumna Forest Park makes it a popular destination for history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and families seeking a relaxing day out.
