Curraghmore House is a stately estate outside Waterford, associated for centuries with the Beresford family. The appeal is the scale of the place: parkland, formal approaches, old trees, and a house that speaks to the Anglo-Irish layers of the southeast.
Opening arrangements can vary, so check before setting out. When it is accessible, it makes a polished contrast to Waterford's Viking and medieval core, especially for travelers interested in gardens and country-house history.
