 " It's difficult to find a more fairytale setting than lavish Lismore, a stunning Irish castle dating to the 13th century. The Gothic castle has been the home of the Duke of Devonshire since 1753, but these days it's rented out to private parties. Rentals
come with the Duke's personal team of butlers, who shower guests with royal attention.
The surrounding Konckmealdown Mountains are perfect for hiking and horseback excursions. The Michelin-starred restaurant at Cliff House Hotel is located nearby. The best place to pop the question is on the green banks of the River Blackwater, where the annual salmon run is one of the most spectacular in Ireland.
