Description

The stories of Ireland s best-known castles.

Majestic and magnificent, designed to both intimidate and inspire, castles are a common feature across Ireland s landscape, with over 1000 examples remaining – some intact, some in ruins, all awesome. This book celebrates the most popular Irish castles, from the Norman fortress of Bunratty to the five-star splendour of Ashford, from medieval Malahide to dramatic Dunluce, as well as introducing you to some of Ireland s most famous castle owners such as Grace O Malley (Rockfleet) and W.B. Yeats (Thoor Ballylea).
