This looks like a great park - full of interesting architecture and features.

Yes David it has .It was owned by the Guinness family which they donated to the nation.The Manner House was set on fire in 1922 and demolished in the early sixty's. And a lot of the buildings and grounds were let go to rune..But in the mid sixty's they started to restore it. and they are doing a lovely job.if you like I will upload some more photos.

Yes, please do, John. I'm a great fan of park history, so many thanks for this info. Glad to hear of a successful park restoration programme. :-)
