More information on Traditional Farms at Muckross House

Designed by Scottish architect William Burns for Henry Arthur Herbert and completed in 1843, Muckross House is a Victorian splendour. The house changed hands several times before its final owner, Senator Arthur Rose Vincent, generously gave the estate to Ireland in his wife's memory. Few buildings are as perfectly situated, since the view from every window is breathtaking and it is easy to become dazed before finishing the tour. The rooms are furnished with period furniture, many pieces of which are unique to the house. The basement gives a view of servant life including the enormous kitchen and impressive wine cellar. In other basement rooms, there are weaving and pottery demonstrations. You can tour the house on your own with a comprehensive guidebook or wait until sufficient numbers make up a guided tour. Check website for further information including seasonal open hours and admission prices.
