This is Newgrange, a genuinely ancient Irish passage tomb built over five THOUSAND years ago. You’d think I would be a cool, jaded historian by now (though I still keep seeking out 12th century monasteries after seeing a ton of them!) but this absolutely overwhelmed me. The “history chills” (sorry, Walter Benjamin) were INTENSE.
Kilkenny Castle has just as many elaborate Pre-Raphaelite wall paintings as Hyrule Castle has apples and arrows hidden under barrels (a comparison I will use because the latter is the castle at which I’ve spent the most time lately)
Medieval frescoes!!!! I repeat! Medieval frescoes!!!!!!! 😍
“Where none but birds (and sprites) can go. Oh there the rosy sea-pinks grow, (Sea-pinks, whose other name is Thrift)...” - Cicely Mary Barker
an idyllic Air B&B view, complete with an actual castle in the very far distance
Had lunch at a vegetarian restaurant with a William Morris theme before seeing the Book of Kells - an auspicious start to our Dublin honeymoon 🌹
