Castle Freke and a High Cross

We took a train to Cork and met our guide, Tom, who took us on a hike along Long Strand Beach and then by Castle Freke. The end of our hike brought us up the hill to Carbery Memorial High Cross before heading back down to the beach. Lord Carbery must have been very well loved for his wife to erect such an ornate tall cross in his honor. 💕

We enjoyed the friendly people in our group- Bill and Sharon from Vancouver, Canada and Michelle from Chicago. But, I think the highlight was hiking by a castle! That was pretty cool! 🏰 Alan may say his highlight was the bucket of fresh mussels he had for dinner. 🙂

We’re spending two nights in Baltimore and tomorrow we take a ferry ⛴️ to Cape Clear Island.Lue lisää
