Florida Irish recommend Smarmore Castle

We were delighted to receive an e-mail from Tim Lunney, the Executive Director of the Florida Irish Heritage Center who visited the castle in 2004 with some of his family.
In a post headed "planning a trip to Ireland" Tim writes a glowing report of his stay here.
Tim finishes a very extensive description of the the castle by saying

"This is not a paid advertisement. It is an enthusiastic personal testimonial, based upon my own family’s wonderful stay at historic Smarmore Castle. I can’t think of enough nice things to say about the Castle, it’s facilities, or our hosts, the Mullen Family."

The Florida Irish Heritage Center's website is well worth checking out. We usually think of New York, Chicago and Boston as the main areas with strong Irish connections in the USA but according to the centre one in 9 Floridians claim Irish roots - that's over 2 million people.
