Brackloon Castle and Farm Ltd

Brackloon Castle and Farm Limited is a family‑run heritage and sustainable‑farming enterprise situated in the heart of east Galway, just a short distance from the River Shannon. The company invites visitors to step inside Brackloon Castle – a 500‑year‑old fortified tower house that remains a private family home – for an exclusive, unhurried tour. Guests are welcomed with tea and refreshments as they explore five floors of history, learning about the castle’s origins with the O Madden clan, its turbulent past, and the careful restoration that has brought it back to life.

Beyond the historic walls, the Burkes manage a modest, environmentally‑focused farm that reflects a commitment to responsible animal and soil management. Their farming philosophy blends traditional practices with modern sustainability, producing wholesome, locally‑sourced produce for the community and for visitors who wish to experience authentic rural life. Brackloon Castle and Farm therefore serves heritage enthusiasts, cultural tourists and anyone interested in a genuine glimpse of Irish history and sustainable agriculture.
