Borris House, situated in South County Carlow on the River Barrow, with views of the Blackstairs Mountains, is one of Ireland's most important country houses. Seat of the McMorrough Kavanagh family, ancient High Kings of Leinster, whose ancestors have lived on the site since the fifteenth century, it is one of the very few houses in Ireland that is still occupied by the family for whom it was built and it still contains a great deal of its original furniture, paintings, documentary archives and other artefacts. Tours of the house can be arranged by appointment only for groups of ten or more. If required, lunch and/or tea can be provided for visiting groups with prior notice. To arrange a tour of the house please contact Tina Kavanagh on + (0)59 9773105.
