点评:A visit to Castletown House is currently NOT recommended.
There is a long running dispute between adjoining landowners, the owners of the house (OPW) and local residents groups.
The primary access route (via the M4 motorway) is now closed. There is no car park. Access from the other two entrances is difficult and both have limited opening hours. The café is now gone. The house itself is closed. There are no tours. The large grounds themselves are no longer properly maintained. The adjoining lands which were previously accessible are now closed off.
The house is 30% covered in scaffolding which has been there for longer than one year with little progress. The view of and from the steps of the house is now spoilt.
In short – DO NOT visit this attraction! Keep an eye on their web site to see if things change, but at the current pace it may be 2025 or beyond before anything improves.
翻译:目前不建议参观 Castletown House。
毗邻土地所有者、房屋所有者 (OPW) 和当地居民团体之间存在长期纠纷。
主要通道(通过 M4 高速公路)现已关闭。没有停车场。从其他两个入口进入很困难,而且开放时间都有限。咖啡馆现在已经不存在了。房屋本身也关闭了。没有游览。大片场地本身不再得到妥善维护。以前可以进入的毗邻土地现已关闭。
房屋 30% 被脚手架覆盖,这些脚手架已经存在了一年多,但进展不大。房屋台阶的视野现在已经被破坏。
简而言之 - 不要参观这个景点!密切关注他们的网站,看看情况是否有所变化,但按照目前的速度,可能要到 2025 年或更久才会有所改善。
