A Pocket Guide to Irish Castles

Om boken

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).
