History:
Belleek is an old Irish place name meaning the forth-mouth of
the flagstone, from the flat surfaced rock in the head of the
river.
Beleek
Castle: The Gate Lodge is the entrance of the Castle
grounds. A family once lived in there and their job was to open
the gate at the Castle Road entrance to the Beleek Estate.
The castle was built of cut stone in 1831. The castle was the
property of the Knox-Gore family for over a hundred years. In
1908 the family sold it to the Beckett family of Ballina. Mr.
Beckett had a dream to turn the grounds into a racecourse and
a stud farm but died before his dream was realised. A man called
Marshall Doran bought the castle and turned it into a hotel.
We now know it was "Beleek Castle Hotel".
