  • Horse Riding

    • Horses are synonymous with Ireland. The Sport of Kings is followed with such unrivalled enthusiasm and knowledge, it is no wonder that Irish horses, trainers and jockeys are found the world over. At Ashley Park, horses have always been part of the scene.

    • The estate was built with horses in mind. The impressive stable yards have fifteen stables and numerous coach houses. The stables are very much in use, with racehorses being kept on the property for breeding. However, horses of more modest temperament can be provided for riders of all abilities at the nearby hunt stables.

    • The combination of a lively equestrian scene and the beautiful countryside makes for the perfect environment for an equestrian holiday.

    • But for those who prefer to watch their horses, the racing scene in Ireland has a vibrancy all of its own. If you've never experienced a day at the Irish races, you have missed out on a unique experience. Nearby Ashley Park are several first class race tracks where you're sure to have the time of your life.

    • Be it racing, hunting or flat, breeding or simply trekking across the most beautiful land in the world, it can all be found at Ashley Park.

    • Birr Equestrian Centre is not far from Ashley Park and Noel can take experienced riders up the mountains or hunting, see their web page for information about trekking and pony camps.

  • Fishing

    • While in the boat, you might like to try your hand at fishing. The lake was stocked in 1994 with brown trout which have grown substantially as a result of the excellent mayfly rise. Food stocks in the lake are substantial throughout the year, leading to excellent growth rates. As a result, there is excellent fishing to be had on an unspoilt private lake. Pictured opposite is the record catch (so far) by Joe Carey with a 9lb brown trout caught in June 1998 for the lunch prepared for the visit of President of Ireland, Mary MacAleese. The visits by the President are rare, the big fish are not!

  • Golf

    • Ashley Park is located within forty minutes drive of many of Ireland's finest golf courses. These include:

    • The Adare Golf Club, an 18 hole Championship course on the 840 acre estate of Adare Manor, was designed by Robert Trent Jones Snr. From his first impression of Adare Manor as having all the flavour of Augusta, he has created an Irish masterpiece to match the challenge of champions. The Adare Golf Club measures 7,138 yards and uses 230 acres of lush countryside. The Maigue River comes into play on three holes with a dramatic finish at the 18th hole.

    • County Tipperary Golf and Country Club, an 18 Hole Championship Golf Course was designed by Ryder Cup Star, Philip Walton. A driving range is available on site.

    • Limerick County Golf Club, with its undulating greens and well positioned bunkers and lakes, the golf course represents a tough, but enjoyable challenge for golfers of all standards.

    • Tullamore Golf Club, where the fairways wind their way through mature deciduous trees to well guarded high quality greens. The original design by James Braid has now been embellished and enhanced by Paddy Merrigan. Water is a feature on many of the holes. The course is a challenge and a delight for all abilities.

    • Locally, the Nenagh Golf Club is just five minutes away offering a challenging round on a mature course. Further a field are the delights of Ballybunion and Lahinch, both within a fifty mile radius, making Ashley Park the idea base for your golfing holiday. Large golfing groups are welcome
