Paul McCartney, Prince Arthur and even WB Yeats are among the castle’s former guests.

SITTING ON A THOUSAND-ACRE site in Co Monaghan is Castle Leslie Estate, one of the last Irish estates still owned by its founding family.

The Leslie family has lived on the estate since 1665, and today the estate also serves as a breathtakingly luxurious hotel, with a wide variety of accommodation and dining options.

We’re giving one lucky reader of TheJournal.ie the chance to escape somewhere truly special, with a €500 voucher for Castle Leslie Estate.

Former Beatle Paul McCartney famously married Heather Mills at Castle Leslie Estate back in 2002, in front of 300 family, friends and fellow celebrities.
