Itinerary description

Most of Dalgan's 5 acres of Park grounds are open to the public each day. It's a farm, a spiritual education and administration centre, and also a retirement home.

Dowdstown House as can be seen today was built in three stages - the north wing two storey section dating back to the early 19th century, the main house dating to the latter part of the 19th century, and the east wing built by the Columban Fathers in the mid-20th century.

It is thought that the origins of Dowdstown go back to the High Kings of Tara, following which the property was controlled by local chieftains who built a church on the lands.
