Carton House, A Fairmont Managed Hotel
"Formerly the home of the Earls of Kildare, the house dates back to the 1700s and was the filming location for the BBC miniseries, "The Aristocrats". The 1,100-acre property has expansive park land with walking paths—I felt like a character in Jane Eyre, meandering the grounds on a broody, overcast day. Vast grassy knolls, bluebell-lined pathways, small streams and a medieval tower stir your imagination. —Charissa Fay"
