CASTLEGRACE lies down in the valley below the Vee and has been the home of the Grubb family since 1800 having originally settled in the Clonmel area in the late sixteen hundreds, building their first mill where the river Anner enters the Suir opposite the C&C cider plant. Castle Grace was the home of Samuel Grubb, who died in 1922 and is buried just above the Vee. There are three letting houses at Castle Grace, and all tenants have the use of the extensive pleasure grounds, including boating and fishing on the river Tar which flows through the property. There are numerous activity opportunities in the area as shown on links page.
Castle Grace is a Norman period construction dating from approx. 1200 and was built for Raymond Le Gros, a son-in-law of Strongbow. A grist mill is recorded as being on the site in the Civil Survey of 1656 and it was this resource of water power that brought the Grubb family to Castle Grace in 1800,
