Lambay Castle
When Cecil Baring and his new wife decided to turn their backs upon society they chose Lambay, a small island in the Irish Sea less than three miles off the coast of north County Dublin. The couple engaged the fashionable architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, who transformed a small ruined fort “into a romantic castle” and placed it in the centre of a majestic circular enclosure beneath a canopy of sycamore trees. The result is one of Ireland’s few important Edwardian country houses and the only remaining Irish house entirely designed by Lutyens.
