Castle Leslie Estate

Our family’s ethos has always been one of creativity and curiosity, openness and sharing, of innovation and entrepreneurship, of sensitivity and working with, of involvement and teamwork. With 1000 years of Leslie family history recorded it is my great honour to be the one tasked with bringing a unique and important part of Ireland’s living heritage through to the future. It is my hope that Castle Leslie Estate will provide more years of employment for those who live locally and continue to be a sanctuary for all our guests. In 2022, we celebrated Castle Leslie Estate’s 30th year as a thriving business.

In 2017 we established The Leslie Foundation. The foundation was founded to ensure that the wide social and economic benefits created by Castle Leslie Estate will continue and expand for generations. The Leslie Foundation’s priorities are – people, place, planet, and peace.
