Description

Irish history.

From Vico Road follow Victoria Road uphill around the edge of Killiney Hill park. On the left as you approach the village is Ayesha Castle, which was built in 1840 by Robert Warren and named Victoria Castle in honour of queen Victoria's recent accession to the throne.

The interior was gutted by fire in 1928 and was magnificently restored by Sir Thomas Power of the celebrated whiskey family. He renamed it Ayesha Castle after the goddess who rose from the flames in Rider Haggard's novel she.

The castle, with its fine oak paneling and a splendid spiral staircase, is at the centre of a district of large, magnificently designed old houses tucked away down side roads and in among the trees.
Killiney Hill may be approached directly from the village by a set of steps.
