Beautiful photos and estate! I count 10 chimneys in the big house, so they must have gone through a whole forest to keep it warm in the winter. I wonder if the chimneys had a fireplace on each floor?
Thanks EL. We didn't get a chance to go in the Manor House since they were remodeling. On the website, the only room I noticed with a fireplace was the Presidential Suite.

Y'know, Mark, diving into UK history can be a bit of a muckity-muck. I once read that the Manor Home at Mount Juliet was built by the Earl of Carrick in the mid 1700s. However, I also read that the title "Earl of Carrick" "became extinct on the death of John Stewart" the Earl of Carrick around the mid 1600s. What were you able to find out on your visit?
Some more info from the hotel website "rooms" section:
The Manor House is the beating heart of the estate and has been ever since the first Earl of Carrick and his wife Juliet first made it their home in 1750.

Wow! To be surrounded by all that beauty must be a great contributer to fine health...
Thanks for commenting Joe. I'm not so sure about the fine health part since some of the Earl's children ( with the exception of the first and the fifth) died very young.
Henry Butler, 2nd Earl of Carrick (19 May 1746 – 20 July 1813), married Sarah Taylor.
Hon. James Butler (5 August 1747 – December 1747)
Lady Margaret Butler (23 January 1748 – April 1775), married Armar Lowry-Corry, 1st Earl Belmore.
Lady Henrietta Butler (15 August 1750 – 20 June 1785), married Edmund Butler, 11th Viscount Mountgarret.
Hon. Pierce Butler-Cooper (15 August 1750 – 5 May 1826), married Catherine Roth, daughter of Richard Roth, Esq.

Here are some more photos taken on our walk around this magnificent Estate. We did appreciate the sun and blue skies but actually got caught in a brief downpour. Thankfully, the lush foliage and a pocket umbrella kept us, and my camera, relatively dry.

I enjoyed both of your Mt Juliet series Mark. Beautiful but overlooked area. At last, you got some decent weather.
I have never been Mt Juliet, but may add it as a treat to my next trip. Hopefully we will be able to travel again sometime next year.
