Killymoon Castle
54°38′06″N 6°44′10″W / 54.635°N 6.736°W Killymoon Castle is a castle situated about one mile (1.6 km) south east of Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, on the north bank of the Ballinderry River.[1] An 18-hole golf course has in recent years been built on the parkland, where British tournaments have been played.[2]
History
The original Killymoon Castle, which was built in 1671, burnt down in 1801. It was rebuilt in a larger version in 1803[1] to a design by John Nash. It is an asymmetrical structure with both round and square towers and Regency Gothic interiors.[3]
As of the 21st century, Killymoon Castle is a private residence, although a tea room has opened the castle to limited public visits.[citation needed]
