The Victorian Muckross House in Kilkenny Ireland....

This nineteenth century Victorian mainsion is set against the stunning beauty of Killarney National Park and is built in the so called " Tudor Style ". This beautiful mainsion was built for Henry Arthur Herbert.

The Herberts undertook extensive garden works, like this sunken garden, in preparation for Queen Victoria's visit in 1861.

They were forced to sell Muckross House...
