An inclusion in a MyIrelanBox a couple of years ago for an Irish Castles theme. This is such a wonderful little book to peruse and learn about all the fascinating facts on Irish castles throughout Ireland. Go on a magical journey throughout the Emerald Island, visiting the castles that we all love. I brought this back into the store as it sold out, and I decided recently to restock it for you all.

The stories of Ireland's best-known castles. Majestic and magnificent, designed to both intimidate and inspire, castles are a common feature across Ireland's landscape, with over 1000 examples remaining - some intact, some in ruins, all awesome. This book celebrates the most popular Irish castles, from the Norman fortress of Bunratty to the five-star splendour of Ashford, from medieval Malahide to dramatic Dunluce, as well as introducing you to some of Ireland's most famous castle owners such as Grace O'Malley (Rockfleet) and W.B.Yeats (Thoor Ballylea).
