Cloverhill

Cloverhill is an attractive hamlet near Butlersbridge, notable for  beautiful buildings set in a peaceful location.

The old post office at Cloverhill has been converted into an award-winning restaurant, public house and B&B, now aptly entitled 'The Olde Post Inn'. The restaurant has won many awards including a Michelin Star and is regarded as one of the top restaurants in the country. The fine early 19th Century villa is now dilapidated, but a village entrance archway dating from c.1800, remains as an impressive complementing feature.

The local Church of Ireland, dating from 1856, is another impressive building in the area.

Nearby Castle Saunderson has been an imposing feature on the local landscape since the 17th Century, although the present castle dates from around 1840. The large grounds contain a lake and woodland areas of beech, pine and sitka spruce. A visitor can spend a very pleasant afternoon exploring the grounds. One feature of the demesne is a small gothic church and private graveyard with carved headstones commemorating the various generations of the Saunderson family.
