Lough Cutra Castle Race Event

Our Lough Cutra Castle Race event is set within stunning surroundings. Recently accommodating King Charles during a 3-day visit to Ireland, the castle was built during the Gothic revival period and is idyllically situated overlooking the Estate’s 1,000 acre lake (the largest privately owned lake in Europe), home to this event’s open water swims.
