Splendid country residence in the heart of leafy Louth

Killin Park House, near Dundalk, Co Louth, stands proud on the edge of an ancient elevated site that’s been inhabited since megalithic times. For centuries, this was a vantage point in defence of invaders. Evidence of its antiquity: two passage tombs, one said to be of a giant, were sadly lost during quarrying in the early 1800s.
