Continuing our tour of the Cork area lead us to the Rock of Cashel. Large and impressive, but unfortunately very badly run down on the inside. I suppose it is difficult to keep things together and preserved in the kind of weather they deal with on a regular basis - still impressive to say the least.
I think the part that probably fascinates me the most is the overwhelming use of rocks and stones in all
their buildings and structures. This cross has been made from just a large stone AND preserved through all these years!I think what I especially like about the country is that even with all the new building and houses there is still the "feel" of old Ireland.
Still more pictures to follow . . .
