Ballindoolin House and Gardens

Ballindoolin near Edenderry is the old demesne of the Humphrey Bor family, who were Anglo-Irish gentry. The name of the townland comes from the Irish Baile Duib Linn or 'town of the black pool' while the River Boyne rises nearby. The Humphrey Bor family lived on the estate from 1620 untill the 1890s brought them financial difficulty and their land agent William Tyrell took over the demesne when they vacated it. Few houses and demesnes of the type survive in Ireland  as many of these houses and larger mansions were destroyed in the 1916-1923 Irish Revolutionary period. Ballindoolin contains period décor and furniture while the farmyard and garden are also retained in their 19th century style.
