Castle On The Hill - Ed Sheeran

We woke up in the dark this morning to catch our ride to Ashford Castle. The drive took three hours — others chatted as I napped. When we arrived, our driver Kieran was very kind and gave us a quick tour of the grounds before dropping us at The Lodge. For another 2 1/2 hours we sat in front of the fire, drinking and eating lunch. Around 2:10 we all put on waterproof gear to brave the outdoors, and the shuttle brought us to the falconry. We were met by our lovely guide Rory, who gave us a quick rundown of the birds before we took two hawks on a walk. It was incredible, having the hawks flying around and landing on your arm.
