Lissadell House

Lissadell House was the childhood home to the Countess Constance Markievicz, patriot and first woman to be elected to the House of Commons at Westminster, and her sister Eva Gore Booth, suffragette and poet. Lissadell was also the inspirational retreat of William Butler Yeats.

Set amidst the rugged splendour of majestic Ben Bulben and Knocknarea, and fronting the wild Atlanitic Ocean, Lissadell was built in 1833 by Sir Robert Gore-Booth and is a magnificent country house designed by Francis Goodwin in the Greek revival style.

Lissadell is now the family home of an Irish couple and their seven young children.
