Castle MacGarrett

Castle MacGarrett was built and owned by the Browne family (the Guinness empire), who had occupied the land for over five centuries. The castle was sold and turned into a nursing home in 1965 until it was sold again for development in 2006. As of 2023, it remains vacant. Tara Browne, a key figure of London's swinging sixties, grew up here. He died in a car accident in 1966. He was the inspiration behind The Beatles' song A Day in the Life.
