Castle Gurteen de la Poer is an Elizabethan Revival house that was completed in 1866. It's a marvellous sight on the south bank of the Suir. Gottfried Helnwein bought it in 1998 and set about bringing it back to its former glory. His guests during his time here have included Beck, Sean Penn and Lisa Marie Presley, among others. In 2005, Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Tesse were married here.

Dunhill Castle is a traditional quarry stone fortress. The name itself means "on the rock." It's definitely worth a visit, as there are wonderful views all the way to the sea from up here.

This is a beautiful mixed woodland that lies close to the Glenary River, a tributary of the Suir. The main feature of this site is the ruins of the castle that gives the forest its name. It is just 500m from the car park down a mixed woodland trail that leads to the river. It is believed to have been built at some stage during the 1800’s by the Carey family, who were local schoolmasters in the Clonmel area. A number of architectural styles are still evident in the ruined remains, including; Gothic windows, a Celtic round tower, a Norman Keep, and both Romanesque and Gothic arches. The remnants of a walled garden can be found to the southern side of the castle. An ice-house is located just off the trail beyond the castle. This is a stone-lined pit which used to serve as a ‘fridge’ when the castle was inhabited. Carey’s Castle was occupied by monks and up to recent years the ruins of the alms house was still in evidence. A real gem of a site for local historians. https://www.coillte.ie/site/careys-castle/

The picturesque old bridge over the Blackwater River offers a wonderful view of the castle. Be careful when taking photos, it is very busy and the footpath is narrow!

We were on the East Munster Trail. Unfortunately, the castle is on the other side of the Glenary River and cannot be reached from the hiking trail. What a pity.
