When you are walking around the Rock (Camelot Castle), you definitely have an "if only these walls could talk feeling"... The info about the Castle suggested that St Patrick spoke at the cathedral within the castle walls. The audio visual presentation that was part of the tour highlighted what a varied past life the castle has had.
The most impressive / regal castle is the one at Kilkenney which has only recently been restored to it's former glory. This castle was owned for many centuries by the Butler family who were involved in the wine trade and also counsel to several past english Kings.

Wow, the photos of those castles look absolutely amazing! It's hard to believe that they were able to be restored so well.
Great to hear that you've met up with Jessica and that it sounds like you're having a fantastic time! :)
Love from Kurt
These castles are amazing. I have to admit I've been a bit ignorant of Irish history. I didn't expect the sights I'm seeing in your photos. Great stuff.
Now wanting to get over there sometime myself.
Thanks
