Lissadell House & Gardens, Ballinfull, Co. Sligo.

The childhood home of 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 Willam Butler Yeats. Set amidst the rugged splendour of majestic Ben Belben and Knocknarea, and fronting the wild Atlantic 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.

Following extensive restoration and replanting work, the famous Walled Victorian Kitchen Garden and the Alpine Gardens are now also open to the public.

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

We now open daily all year round 10.30am to 6pm, this includes our Tea Rooms, seating over 80, and Heritage and Garden Shop which are located in the newly restored Coach House, House Tours which last 45mins and take you on an informative tour of the beautiful reception rooms and also through the basement where we have vast amounts of art work by Constance and her sister Eva on display and also newly restored Servants Quarters. We also have The Markievicz Exhibition Hall with our newly aquired Sterry Album which contains never before seen photographs of Constance and of course our two beautiful large restored gardens, the Alpine Rockery Garden and the Walled Victorian Kitchen vegetable Garden.
