Farney Castle, Co. Tipperary

Farney Castle, Co. Tipperary, an original watercolour painting by Róisín O' Shea copyright 2010

Farney castle is the home, design studio and retail outlet of Irish international designer Cyril Cullen. It is the only Round Tower in Ireland to be occupied as a family home. The first castle was built in 1185, the present round tower in 1495 by Thomas Butler. I enjoyed my tour of Farney castle and recommend meeting the interesting and charming Cyril.
