Covering an area of 78 acres, Farmleigh is a huge estate that was developed as an accommodation for visiting dignitaries and for the recreation of the general public. A visit to this estate will remind you of the Edwardian period and aura. There is a kind of eclecticism that defines this estate as it combines a variety of architectural designs and decors. This house was initially built by Edward Cecil Guinness, the first Earl of Iveagh, the great-grandson of Arthur Guinness. Even till today, you can see a lot of artworks and furnishings available in the home. Around this home are picturesque walled gardens, scenic lakeside walks bordered by range of beautiful plants that offer a visual treat.
