"An entire room is dedicated to Roderick O'Connor (1860-1940), a friend of Gauguin; his canvases reflect the influence of his fellow French painters, from Seurat to Van Gogh."

"The stronghold of British power in Ireland for 700 years is principally an 18th-century creation that is more hotch-potch palace than medieval castle."

The highlight is a visit to the subterranean excavations of the old castle, discovered by accident in 1986.
Time Out
"More a collection of 18th-century administrative buildings, albeit very fine ones, built on a medieval plan of two courtyards."
