October Photo-shoot at Castlecoote House, Co. Roscommon

Boyle Camera Club - Castlecoote Photo-shoot - October 2008

Once again, true to form, the sunshine graced another club photo-shoot, this time at the splendid Castlecoote House, just a short distance from Roscommon Town. A total of 26 club members attended the event which was organised and coordinated by Dan Lonergan and Margie Dunne. Members were greeted and guided through the house and grounds by Geoff. The House and gardens provided a rich source for an afternoon of indulgent photography. The interior of Castlecoote house is particularly noteworthy as it is lovingly and painstaking restored in minute detail and maintained to five-star standard. Each room is a feast for the eyes, having a character and atmosphere all of its own. At the end of the visit, members enjoyed high-tea and homemade scones in the luxury of the formal dining-room.
Castlecoote is one of those special places, to escape for a while and bask in the recreated splendor of an Irish 18th century country home.
