Its 10-million-euro renovation scheduled to debut right about now, the resident Equestrian Centre and Hunting Lodge boast—among other claims to fame—the Virtual Horse (Ireland’s first full-sized, simulated steed), 300 new jumps built by Wilson Bros. (the Nicklaus and Fazio of horse courses) and 21 miles of scenery-saturated bridleways. The castle itself has been remodeled, too, and reopens in June as a members-only retreat (but you can become a member for 3,000 euros a year, helipad use included).
