Gilltown Stud

The Irish Studs are made up of four different properties: Gilltown, Sallymount, Sheshoon and Ballyfair, formerly known as Brownstown.

Gilltown and the adjoining Sallymount stud cover approximately 1,250 acres (500 ha) in total. Many areas of Gilltown, including the house, were destroyed over a century ago, and have been rebuilt to create an optimised breeding operation. However their reconstruction has also maintained the principle that they are part of Ireland’s national heritage.
