Why visit
Step inside the story.
A restored Barry family tower house near Carrigtwohill, enclosed by a bawn and historic gardens.
Visitor access: Public guided tours operate on published seasonal dates. The outside area can be explored without a guided tour; the herb and knot garden is closed for renewal during the 2026 season.
Allow time for the setting as well as the buildings. Access to towers, interiors and upper floors can involve steps or restricted spaces, while opening days and guided-tour arrangements may change seasonally.
