Ballymore
is an old family property located away from main routes in a particularly
attractive area of North Wexford landscape. The visitor facility,
which is in the centre of a large working farm, includes a Family
Museum, Picture Gallery, Farm Display, 1798 Exhibition and Tea
Room. Visitors may also walk about among other features including
Old Church and Graveyard, moated site of 14th Century Norman Castle,
Holy Well, Mill Pond and period family residence.
The
Museum, which received a prestigeous award last year, is located
in the period Farm Yard and contains a wide range of objects from
the family home illustrating many different aspects of earlier
occupation and activity. The Old Dairy contains a display of old
dairy equipment and domestic items. An adjoining display of early
farm equipment leads to the 1798 Exhibition of material from that
period. There were family members on both sides of the conflict,
and the house was occupied by rebels who had a camp for some weeks
in the meadow surrounding the Castle site. The Tea Room is in
the reconstructed period greenhouse in the grounds.
