Sept 6 Irish Castle (Day 345)
On our drive back to Achill Island from Galway we stopped in the small town of Clifden and found these ruins of a relatively ‘young’ castle outside of town. Built in 1835, it didn’t last very long for a castle!
At one point the castle was a school for young Irish girls training to be maids for the “Big Houses” of the English or Irish gentry landlords.
The drive along the wild west Irish coast is beautiful!
We ended the day with an evening walk into the moors as the sunset colored the clouds.
