We had a ride out on Saturday and stopped when we saw Kilbrittain castle.
It's said to be the oldest castle in Ireland and built in 1035. These days it's an hotel and farm.
It's had some famous residents including Oliver Cromwell and more recently Roy Disney who was Walt Disney's nephew.
I found this great video on You Tube of the castle.
It also features Clannad who I will be seeing on their farewell tour in May. It will be the fourth time I have seen them and I will hopefully be seeing them again in Blighty at a festival in August. A great band and a magnificent castle.
The Clannad music and the drone footage go so beautifully together Dave. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it YP. A land of saints and scholars and beautiful buildings and scenery.
ReplyDeleteIt would make a romantic place for you to take Mrs northsider for a weekend break.
ReplyDeleteIt would JayCee. But what need when you live in the countryside by the sea? We wouldn't need to ask the waiter for the marigolds washing up gloves.😊
ReplyDeleteA lovely piece of music and a grand castle. I'd live to stay there
ReplyDeleteI am pleased you like the music Linda. It's very atmospheric. It would be good to stay at the castle wouldn't it just?
ReplyDeleteSorry, can't drum up any enthusiam for castles - we have loads of them here, built by the Normans to keep us pesky Welsh up in the north of the county. Trudging around them on school trips put me off for life! Beautiful music though.
ReplyDeleteThe Normans liked to know what everybody was doing and so they could tax people. Wales is another beautiful country. Glad you like Clannad.
