Castle Leslie Estate

About

Nestled on 1,000 acres of rolling Irish countryside in Glaslough, County Monaghan, Castle Leslie Estate is a living testament to the grandeur of Ireland’s grand houses. The picturesque estate boasts three tranquil lakes—Glaslough, Kilvey, and Dream Lake—surrounded by ancient woodland, expansive gardens, and meandering streams.

The estate also hosts seasonal events such as weddings, festivals, and summer concerts. With its blend of historic charm, natural beauty, and modern hospitality, Castle Leslie provides an idyllic retreat for couples, families, and solo travelers alike, offering both the tranquility of a country estate and the convenience of a boutique hotel.
