The Rock of Cashel is one of Ireland’s most important historic sites. Legend says St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave on the “Devil’s Bit” mountain, about 20 miles north, and in his fury, the Devil took a bite out of the mountain, with the dislodged rock landing here. #castle #photography

Raby Castle is a super beauty! The kitchen was built in 1360 and was used continuously for 600 years!! There is also a passageway from the kitchen that was used as a serving route to the Baron’s hall and ALSO a defensive route for soldiers guarding the castle. #castle #history #photogtaphy
