Meggiinch is a fantastic place for a wedding venue. My daughter and son-in-law had there wedding there and were also the first couple to get married at megginch. The wedding day was amazing and all the guests had a lovely day all saying how wonderful the food entertainment and the atmosphere was on the day. Thank you megginch for organising such a memorable day.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
