We are on our way to our next hotel located a bit
inland. On the way we stopped at Armagh
to see the two St Patrick’s Cathedrals, one Roman Catholic
and the other Anglican.
Armagh was in the center of much of The Troubles and the
churches apparently were caught in the middle.
We eventually arrived in our new hotel, Cabra Castle. Pretty cool.
It’s origins date back to the early 1800’s as a manor house.
Our room is in the Courtyard, a series of buildings that were originally the coach houses and the stables.
Our room had beautiful furnishings...
and opened on to a lovely garden.

The Castle itself has lots of interesting rooms and windy
corridors.
After photographing much of the castle we headed out into
the wooded walk. The “trail” was a wide
grassy road. Reminded us of a logging
trail. But at least we got a bit of
exercise in the lovely woods. And the
weather was absolutely beautiful and almost warm (the locals referred to it as
a heat wave).
The gardens are beautiful and there are a lot of flowers in bloom.
