My parents also stayed there when they were first married. My Grandfather Charles Harold Robert Barton was the last of his direct Barton line to live at the Waterfoot. I don't think I can post photos here, but happy to share.

My recollection is that they sold out to Seagram about 30 or 40 years ago. The Barton name survives in such wine as Ch. Leoville-Barton (which is, incidentally, famous for not charging top dollar for its en primeur wines, unlike certain other Bordeaux growers and makers).

Thus cutting off two portions of Fermanagh.<br />The other feature that I always find interesting is the Railway line running past the Waterfoot property and the Road. Both track and Road would meander in and out of NI and ROI on their way to Belleek.Gordon Dudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203315368392666861noreply@blogger.com
