The castle formerly owned by the Guinness family is Ashford Castle, located in County Mayo, Ireland. Built in the 13th century, it was transformed into a luxury hotel and is renowned for its stunning architecture and beautiful grounds. The Guinness family acquired it in the 1930s, and it remained in their possession until it was sold in the late 20th century. Today, Ashford Castle is a popular destination for travelers seeking a taste of Irish history and elegance.
It is built on a sandstone bluff at a bend of the River Avon, which has eroded the rock the castle stands on, forming a cliff. The river and cliff form natural defenses which protect the castle. This is why the site was chosen.
