Ireland is a country rich in history, and that history is to be found nowhere more than in the castles that dot its hills. Some are pristine and modernised, some little more than shells, but all of them have a tale to tell, to those with an ear to hear it. Here are a few of those tales.
Leap Castle – kinslayers, priest-killers, sailors and flames
Charleville Castle – To Music from Masons and Monasteries
Dunguaire Castle – Celtic Legends and Celtic Revival
Luttrellstown Castle – Millionaires, celebrities and desecrated graves
Blarney Castle – The Truth Behind The Myth
Carrickfergus Castle – Knights, soldiers, pirates and ghosts
Ashdown Castle – the castle hidden inside a house
Glenveagh Castle – Cruelty, Cowboys and Celebrities
Clonony Castle – A tale of three tombstones
Malahide Castle – the tale of the Talbots
Killua Castle – Potatoes, TE Lawrence, and rescue from decay
Dunluce Castle – The Ruin On The Cliff
Bunratty Castle – Kings, Earls, commoners and a Viscount
Castle Troy – “By war, tide and time batter’d”
More to come…
