A dramatic setting for a castle - Dunluce is worth a visit

This is Dunluce Castle, one of the most dramatic fortresses on the Antrim coastline of Northern Ireland, first built in the 13th century by Richard de Burg, an Anglo Norman. If you’re a ‘Game of Thrones’ fan, you might recognise it as Castle Greyjoy, altered with special effects.

Moore Hall in Mayo - Mysterious and enchanting

George Moore made a fortune in the Spanish wine trade and decided in the 1790s to build himself an impressive house on the edge of Lough Carra in County Mayo in Ireland. The locals were superstitious about his choice of location because Muckloon Hill was alleged to have been cursed by a druid in the year 400.
