The Office of Public Works (OPW) and Roscommon County Council are delighted to welcome visitors to the South-West Tower of Roscommon Castle as part of the Easter celebrations. The southwest tower will open to the public this Sunday, 31 March 2024 from 10.00 to 17.00. Access is free and is on a first come first served basis.
This gives members of the public an excellent opportunity to view the works undertaken on the south-west tower by OPW skilled stonemasons and carpenters that facilitate access to the top story of the tower. The stairs, inserted into the original mural passageway enables visitors to view the surrounding historic landscape, the rectangular walled enclosure and the impressive remains of the fortified house from the top of the tower.
Why not take a walk in the nearby Loughnaneane Park, explore the 14- acre recreational area and let the kids navigate the on-site playground.
