Mount
Wolseley |
Once part of a 30,000-acre estate owned by the Butler
Dynasty, Mount Wolseley, or Mount Aaron, as it was then known, came into
the possession of the Wolseley family in 1725. Having been torched by
insurgents during the 1798 Rebellion, the house was rebuilt in 1864. The
200-acre property was sold to the Patrician Brothers in 1925 and was
purchased by the Morrissey family in 1994, whose decision to develop a
luxury hotel and championship golf course heralds a new era in the
history of the property. At Mount Wolseley, the visual delights of
the setting are something to behold. Set just a few hundred yards from
the meandering River Slaney, its rich population of trees and lakes are
set against the backdrop of the magnificent views of Mount Leinster and
the Blackstairs to the South and glimpses of the Wicklow Mountains to
the East.
