Location & Points of Interest

• Golf
  Cabra Castle offers its guests the chance to play on one of the most scenic golf courses in Ireland. This 9 hole golf course is situated within the hotel grounds and offers the most fantastic views of Cabra Castle against the fabulous backdrop of the hotel's mature gardens and numerous lakes.
• Dun A Rí National Forest Park
  Dun A Ri forest park is suitated off the Kingscourt Carrickmacross road. The entrance to the car park is located approximately 1.5 miles from Kingscourt. The following give you an insight on the area plus some sites of interest located throughout the park - and are well worth visiting.
• CROMWELL'S BRIDGE
  There is a strong tradition that the ubiquitous Cromwell crossed over this bridge on his way to attack the Castle of the O'Reilly's at Muff - a few miles away. The story goes that the keystones of both Muff and Fleming's Castles were marked by an informer and that the walls were then easily breached by Cromwell's guns.
• CABRA VILLAGE
  This vanished village was situated between Cromwell's Bridge and Cabra Cottage. Before 1760 there was a thriving community of about thirty houses centred around flax and corn mills at Cabra Cottage. With the building of the town of Kingscourt the village was gradually demolished to provide materials and now little remains.
• THE FLAX MILL
  The harvesting and treatment of flax for the manufacture of linen has long been associated with this part of the country. It is believed that the Phoenicians brought the skill of making linen from flax to Northern Europe between 850BC and 150BC. This skill was carried by French Huguenots to Ireland around 1685. When the flax was pulled it was normally submerged for a time in water to rot the outer layers. It was then brought by the farmers to the scutch mill. The typical scutch mill in Ireland has blades attached to a horizontal shaft driven by a water wheel. When the outer layers of flax had been removed the farmers paid a fee and took the fibres away to sell to the linen spinners.
• LADY'S LAKE
  This is an artifical lake which was fed from water passing through the old flax mill at Cabra. The water was conveyed in aqueducts from a point of the Cabra River higher up the glen. The name is said to derive from frequent sighting of the ghost of a lady at the lakeside.
