There&#8217;s so many castles, so many luxury accommodations around the globe, but there is only one Ashford Castle, the most luxurious castle in the world. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Richard Bangs: Ireland &#8211; The Wild Atlantic Way <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Most Luxurious Castle in the World <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Niall Rochford General Manager, Ashford Castle <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Niall Rochford: We&#8217;re located on probably what is the most wonderful part of Ireland. We&#8217;re right on the edge of Connemara, which is the most unique landscape, in my opinion, in Ireland. The French call it the sauvage, savage beauty. I think when you go to Connemara, you see that in the color of the sky and also the color of the landscape. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You can see in every single detail luxury from the chandeliers to the linens to the carpets. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Richard Bangs: Luxury here is the ripest fruit of all. It is the perfect bliss and the soul of felicity. It is the sweet fruition of all that is an earthly crown. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Niall Rochford: We say Ashford is full of character and characters. Be genuine and generous with your guests and with your staff. Then I think that creates the ability to deliver luxury at its very, very finest. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Richard Bangs: Give us the luxuries of life and we will dispense of its necessities. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Niall Rochford: We&#8217;re located on Lough Corrib, which is Ireland&#8217;s second largest lake and its renowned trout fishing, and we also have Lough Cong, which is the river that flows through the estate, and that is synonymous for its salmon fishing. Our guests many, many of them just go off property and get lost in the savage beauty that is Connemara. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Richard Bangs: The beauty of Ashford lies in its divine [play], architecture, art, and environs beyond proportion and harmony. Its design and service flare with graceful wings and voluptuousness. But with all the stone and heritage it possesses something of a lightness and great refinements. This is a place of unbounded time, a place for measureless dreaming. In this world where nothing is perfect, here is found the most exquisite form of happiness. Once you have been to Ashford Castle, there is nowhere else to go. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Top Five Game of\u00a0Thrones Locations in Northern Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Richard&#8217;s Gold List<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Richard Bangs:<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Northern Ireland<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"textLayer\">\n<div data-canvas-width=\"397.4362741231372\"><em>Top 5 Game of Thrones Locations<\/em><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"397.4362741231372\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"756.2801328819612\"><em>Richard Bangs: The history of Northern Island combines the\u00a0cut and thrust of medieval\u00a0warfare with murder, mysticism and intrigue; just like the\u00a0&#8220;Game of<\/em><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"118.54128809215686\"><em>Thrones.&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"162.6400929890196\"><em>5.
