C. DUCKETT'S GROVE - NEAR CARLOW TOWN

Duckett's Grove, the 18th and early 19th century home of the Duckett family, formerly centred on a 12,000 acre estate and has dominated the Carlow landscape for over 200 years. The mansion was transformed into a spectacular castellated gothic fantasy by the renowned architect Thomas A. Cobden in 1830. Although destroyed by fire in 1933, the remaining towers and turrets and its surrounding countryside form a romantic landscape making it one of the most photogenic estate houses in Ireland. The pretty ruin is now under the protection of Carlow County Council who will provide public access to the historic grounds and a range of visitor amenities including car parking and a picnic area.
