Drumbanagher is a walled demesne situated a few miles south of the scenic village of Poyntzpass in the county of Armagh, Northern Ireland. The historic seat of the Close family, the demesne extends to some 650 acres and is one of the most fertile and beautiful private areas in the Emerald Isle.

Sadly, Drumbanagher Castle, the once handsome, primary residence of the demesne, built in 1837 by Lieut.- Col. Maxwell Close is now demolished. However, the large portico, which stood in front of the Italian-style house, remains to the present day and gives a sense of the impressive grandeur of the demesne. Drumbanagher is one of the prettiest expanses of Irish countryside where the steep wooded valleys and tree-lined pastures idyllically lend themselves to superlative driven game shooting.

Drumbanagher is easily accessible being situated 35 miles south-west of Belfast and 65 miles north of Dublin and within easy reach of both airport and ferry terminals, with excellent motorway and ‘A’ road links. Local 4-star accommodation can be arranged for travelling Guns.
