Cahir Castle
16. august 2017, Irland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Ein willkommener Unterschlupf bei Regenwetter auf der Strecke von Carlow nach Cork ist das Cahir Castle.

Es war der Sitz der mächtigen Familie Butler, der wir schon in Kilkenny begegnet sind. Eine audiovisuelle Präsentation in deutsch erklärte uns, auf was wir unsere besondere Aufmerksamkeit lenken sollen.

Das Castle behielt ihren beeindruckenden Burgfried, den Turm, sowie viele
ursprüngliche Verteidigungspunkte bis heute bei.

Die Burg von Cahir ist eine der größten und am besten erhaltenen Burgen Irlands, die sich auf einer Felseninsel im Fluss Suir befindet. Die Besichtigung in gebückter Haltung enge Steintreppen hinauf und hinab zur Latrine, dem
Mörderloch und dem Brunnenturm bereiteten uns eine kurzweilige Stunde.Les mer

Rock the Cashel
23. juni 2016, Irland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
First stop on our tour was the Rock of Cashel! It is said that when Saint Patrick returned to Ireland to rid the land of the devil, the devil threw a giant rock at Saint Patrick which he evaded with the help of a Shamrock. On this site, a large castle was built between the 11th and 13th Centuries that house a variety of high nobles and religious figures from Ireland, and the tomba of many of these people still rest in this place.

Walking the grounds was a very sombre affair, with crows overhead and the ruins of tombstones surroubding us, but the importance and history of the monument was definitely not lost.

Up next, Blarney Castle!Les mer

A Cottage Orné in Cahir
22. juni 2019, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
That is how the style of the Swiss Cottage in Cahir is described ... Cottage Orné (or, in English, ornamental cottage). It is an example of a building in the Regency picturesque style.

Dating back to the early 1800s, it was at this pastoral retreat that the Butler family played at being peasants. The furnishings inside the cottage, however, are a clear indication that they had no idea what peasant life was really like.

The only way to see the interior of the cottage is by taking an OPW tour — which was covered by our Heritage Card. Our guide was great. In addition to telling us vivid stories that brought alive what life back in the day was like, she pointed out the mis-matched elements of architecture, explaining that this was done on purpose to mimic nature ... where nothing is perfect.

P.S. No photos allowed inside, so I purchased some postcards to scan.Les mer

The Rock of Cashel
19. juni 2016, Irland ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
A beautiful castle towering above green pastures filled with sheep and cows. The day is overcast and a light rain is falling, creating just the right mood for walking through a castle that has seen better days. You can imagine the dark and damp nights the inabitants must have experienced, even with walls and roofs providing some shelter.Les mer

Rock of Cashel
22. juni 2019, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
Our first stop after leaving Kilkenny was the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary. Our early departure from Fanad House ensured our arrival at this iconic site ahead of the crowds.

Located in an area known as the “Golden Vale,” the site is also known as St Patrick’s Rock. Legend has it that St Patrick converted the King of Munster here.The site served as the seat of the kings of Munster from the 4th century until it was presented to the church in the 12th century.

Our admission — covered by the OPW Heritage Card — included access to the grounds and ruins, as well as to Cormac’s Chapel, which can only be visited on an official tour. We had a grand time exploring the Rock of Cashel ... despite the wind that was blowing quite cold.Les mer

Hore Abbey
22. juni 2019, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
Glimpsing the ruins of Hore Abbey as we were exploring the Rock of Cashel, I was reminded that I wanted to stop there for a photo op.

Hore Abbey, once a Benedictine place of worship, was transferred to the Cistercians in 1270. You see, the archbishop wanted to evict the Benedictines because he had dreamt that they were about to kill him.

Asking for directions, we were discouraged from driving there due to lack of parking. Instead, we were directed to a path that runs down the hill to the abbey. Since Mui was feeling poorly due to a sinus infection, I went off on my own, cutting through a meadow where sheep were grazing peacefully.

At the bottom of the hill, I hopped over the stone wall and walked across a cow pasture — no cows ... just plenty of ‘evidence’ of them — to reach the ruins. There wasn’t much to see here, but I did get the Rock of Cashel photo I was after.Les mer

Cahir Castle: Stone Fort of the Fish
22. juni 2019, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
Down the road about 15 minutes from the Rock of Cashel and Hore Abbey, is Cahir Castle ... in the town of Cahir.

The 12th century castle is situated where once a 3rd century fort by the name of Cathair stood. Cathair, from which Cahir Castle’s name is derived, means “the stone fort of the fish.”

Built along the River Suir, this well-preserved castle is a photogenic subject for the camera. Which is why I wanted to stop here. That the sun came out as we were parking the car added to our pleasure in what our eyes beheld.

I had read that there wasn’t much to see inside. So, initially, we weren’t planning to tour the castle. But since the admission was included in our OPW Heritage Card, we figured we’d take a quick look see before moving on with the rest of our plans for the day.

P.S. We’ve already used up most of our initial €30/person outlay for the OPW Heritage Card. We’ve only got €7/person left before we break even. This is just day 3 of our 15-day driving trip. I think I can safely say that buying the card was a good deal.Les mer

Inch Field Sculpture Trail
22. juni 2019, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
As we walked along the River Suir to begin the trek to our next destination, we came upon a big expanse of lush green space. A nearby sign identified the area as Inch Field.

Following the lilting sounds of a violin, we went over to check out the park where locals were taking advantage of the beautiful day ... playing ball, picnicking, or simply sitting around and chatting. As for the violin player? He was serenading a collection of dolls and puppets!

One of the highlights of Inch Field is a trail along which one can find sculptures carved out of trees. Turns out that when some of the trees were damaged during a storm a few years ago, it was decided that they should live on in the form of carvings.

I didn’t get many photos of the sculptures because people were sitting around the more interesting ones and I didn’t want to intrude. But there was a bonus for detouring into the park ... the best view of Cahir Castle!Les mer
