Welcome to Castletownshend

Another pretty village is Castletownshend located on a sheltered haven which saw a memorable sea fight between English and Spanish squadrons in 1602.
There are three tower-like islands standing out from the shore famously known as the 'Stags'.
Castletownshend demesne is close to the village, and interesting remains include Glenbarrahane Castle and church, and an ancient stone fort with a souterrain and hut sites.
Somerville and Ross, the two victorian ladies who wrote Tales of an Irish R.M. lived most of their lives here.
