Woodstock Estate, Georgian estate near Inistioge, Ireland

Woodstock Estate is a ruined six-bay, three-storey Georgian house on the west bank of the River Nore near Inistioge. Built in 1745–47, it was later given flanking wings over a basement by architect Daniel Robertson in 1804–06. The roofless shell stands overgrown, while the surrounding gardens and arboretum remain open to the public.

Woodstock House was built in 1745–47 for William Fownes and his wife, funded by a £4,000 dowry from Elizabeth Ponsonby. Local architect Daniel Robertson replaced the wings between 1804 and 1806 with flanking wings over a basement to create service yards for William Tighe. Occupied by the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries in 1921, then by Free State troops, the unguarded house was burnt down on 2 July 1922 and remains a shell.

Woodstock is where the Ladies of Llangollen story began: Sarah Ponsonby, a cousin of the household, hid Lady Eleanor Butler in her room while housemaid Mary Carryl smuggled in food, before the pair left for Plas Newydd in Wales. The poet Mary Tighe died here of tuberculosis in 1820.

The house is a roofless shell overgrown with vegetation and cannot be entered; the grounds, restored by Kilkenny County Council, are open to the public. The Red House shooting lodge stands near the River Nore. Paths follow the Monkey Puzzle and Noble Fir walks laid out between 1840 and 1900.

The gardens were laid out between 1840 and 1900 by William Tighe and his wife Lady Louisa Lennox, who planted exotic species from Asia and South America. Two walks take their names from the Monkey Puzzle and Noble Fir trees, and specimens of the Coast Redwood also grow here.
