What is recorded here

Ballinlough Castle stands on a Westmeath hill overlooking two lakes, its rooms lit by some of the tallest windows built for a private house in that era. The O'Reilly family became the Nugents in 1812 under a royal licence, and descendants still occupy the home, carrying an unbroken thread from the seventeenth century into the present. Music has flooded the grounds since Kenny Rogers and Van Morrison played there, yet the lakeside walks remain closed, keeping the castle's heart private despite the crowds it once fed.
