Counties Down & Armagh
This 1824 grand mansion has changed little since the early 1900s. Treasures include a large chamber organ installed in 1824, which visitors can play during house tours; look out too for Captain Shelton's shirt, which allegedly saved him when his ship, the Birkenhead, went down in shark-infested waters in 1852.
It's 5km northwest of Moy off the B106.
