ARDATTIN:

A picturesque country village, South of Tullow near the River Slaney. Located closeby is Ballintemple House, former seat of the Butlers, a junior branch of the House of Ormonde and birthplace of Pierce Butler, signatory of the American Constitution. Although the house was sadly destroyed by fire in 1913, an extensive tree nursery tended by the State forestry service, Coillte, now occupies the Ballintemple Estate. A circuit walk offering fine views of the surrounding countryside may be enjoyed through the Coillte site.
