Houses of the Irish Aristocracy

Birr Castle, Ireland

September 19–29, 2013
Visit the grand estates of Ireland at a lovely time of year, not as tourists, but as guests of their ancestral owners. Enjoy hosted visits with Lord Ross at Birr Castle and the Duke of Abercorn at Baronscourt. Admire the country landscapes for which Ireland is famous. A stay in Dublin will add a touch of urban glamour to the experience. Highlights include a curatorial tour of the National Gallery; a private visit to author Helen Dillon's home, which features one of the finest city gardens in the world; and a gala dinner at Castletown House, Ireland's largest and earliest Palladian-style villa.
