I took this photo last August on the grounds of Blarney castle, Co.
Cork, Ireland.
It's quite a good sized tree, I just don't have the full tree in a
photo.
I've been asked several times what it is .

Also, I noticed whilst there that they do have several plants labelled
(but alas, not that one *perhaps). For when I next go back (I'm in
Belgium) does anyone know of the existence of a sort of plants map for
the grounds of Blarney Castle?

Thanks in advance.

Could it perhaps be a Spanish Chestnut (Castanea sativa) which is not
unknown in Ireland?

Having got properly started in my search on account of Robert's reply,
I found

and in particular;

so I would say it's not the castanea, which I am familiar with.
