Castle Saunderson Demesne

Castle Saunderson is set in the heart of the Geopark. The story of Castle Saunderson is marked by fire and blood, conquest and division, and finally, peace, reconciliation and multiculturalism! In many ways, the story of Castle Saunderson is reflective of the story of the island of Ireland and it’s colourful history. An international Scouting Centre opened adjacent to the castle in 2012. The centre has delivered many programmes that are in line with the Messengers of Peace programme (MoP), which is an initiative set up by the World Organisation of the Scout Movement, with the aim to make the world a more peaceful place. Facilities: car parking, interpretation and walking trails. Note: Castle Saunderson should be accessed though the Scout Centre Entrance to the Forest as identified on Google Maps
