Jenkinstown Park

Jenkinstown Park is a park in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is situated off the N78 road about 10 km north of the city of Kilkenny and 11 km south of Castlecomer. The Dunmore Caves are nearby. History The park was formerly part of the old Bryan-Bellew Estate. A small garden to commemorate Thomas Moore's association with the house has been laid down on the site of the old house. Facilities Facilities include a picnic site, forest walks, small commemorative garden, deer park and a craft centre. There are walks of between one and three kilometres through a plantation of mixed broadleaf and conifers. The park is managed by Coillte. Flora and fauna Tree species within the park include beech, ash, oak, and Norway spruce. Some original park trees from the 1870s survive and include a number of rare species such as the Chinese necklace poplar, Populus lasiocarpa. Bluebells typically flower, in the beech and birch woods in the park, from mid April to late May. The park is home to foxes, badgers, stoats, red and grey squirrels, and enclosed deer, as well as bats in the old church. A number of species of birds – including pheasant, ravens, and the long-eared owl – inhabit the woods. References External links Jenkinstown Park - Discover Ireland

Magilligan

Magilligan is a peninsula at the mouth of Lough Foyle in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It is an extensive 79,000-acre (32,000-hectare) coastal site, part military firing range and part nature reserve, and is home to HM Prison Magilligan. The tip of the peninsula, which lies less than a mile from Greencastle in County Donegal, is known as Magilligan Point. The two are linked by a ferry service. History The peninsula historically belonged to a district known as "MacGilligan's Country", which formed a major part of the barony of Keenaght. Magilligan served as the base line for triangulation for the mapping of Ireland in the 19th century. Colonel Thomas Colby chose Magilligan due to the flatness of the strand and its proximity to Scotland which, along with the rest of Britain, had been accurately mapped in previous decades. A straight line precisely 30,533 feet (9,306 m) was measured from North Station to Ballykelly in 1828, from which all other references were measured. The survey finished in 1846 when County Kerry was mapped. Landmarks There is a well-preserved Martello Tower at Magilligan Point, built between 1815 and 1817. It is one of the northernmost of the 74 towers built along the coasts of Ireland during the Napoleonic Wars. HM Prison Magilligan is situated along the main road (Point Road) running out to Magilligan Point. It opened in 1972 and has a capacity of 568 prisoners. There is a statue of Manannán mac Lir at the Binevenagh Viewpoint facing the sea, installed in 2013. It was made by John Sutton. The statue was stolen in 2016 in an alleged act of religious extremism as a cross with the words 'You shall have no other gods before me' was put in its place. It however, was found a year later, destroyed 300 meters from where it stood. It was replaced by the now-defunct Limavady Borough Council for a price of £10,000. Transport It is close to Bellarena railway station and there is a ferry service which operates during the summer season, connecting Magilligan with Greencastle across the lough. During the 19th century the Londonderry & Coleraine Railway operated a short-lived tramway between the village of Magilligan and the settlement of Magilligan Point. Opening in July 1885 and closing in October 1885, it is the shortest-lived passenger railway line in Ireland.

Magilligan Point

Magilligan Point – przylądek położony na północno-zachodnim wybrzeżu Irlandii Północnej, w hrabstwie Londonderry, przy wejściu do zatoki Lough Foyle. Przylądek stanowi najbardziej wysunięty na północny zachód fragment półwyspu o tej samej nazwie. Obszar charakteryzuje się obecnością rozległych wydm oraz piaszczystych plaż. W pobliżu znajdują się tereny dawnej bazy wojskowej i ośrodka internowania, przekształcone później w kompleks więzienny. Historia Wejścia do zatoki Lough Foyle strzeże wieża Martello, wzniesiona w okresie wojen napoleońskich. Budowla posiada mury o grubości dochodzącej do około 3 metrów i stanowi element dawnych fortyfikacji obronnych wybrzeża. W rejonie Magilligan Strand rozpoczęto realizację projektu Ordnance Survey, mającego na celu sporządzenie dokładnych map Irlandii. W 1824 roku Thomas Cook wytyczył tutaj linię odniesienia wykorzystywaną do triangulacyjnych pomiarów geodezyjnych obejmujących cały kraj. Transport Z Magilligan Point kursuje prom do miejscowości Greencastle w hrabstwie Donegal, zapewniający połączenie pomiędzy Irlandią Północną a północno-zachodnią częścią Republiki Irlandii. Kultura Z okolic Magilligan pochodził Denis Hempson, irlandzki harfista tradycyjny, który uczestniczył w festiwalu muzycznym w Belfastcie w 1792 roku i wykonywał utwór „Londonderry Air”. Przyroda Obszary położone u podnóża góry Binevenagh objęto ochroną jako rezerwat przyrody przeznaczony do ochrony ptaków drapieżnych, w tym sokołów i pustułek. Przypisy
Mahee Castle

Mahee Castle, also known as Nendrum Castle, is a small ruined tower house near Nendrum Monastery on Mahee Island in Strangford Lough, County Down, Northern Ireland. It was built in 1570 by Captain Thomas Browne. It was abandoned by the early 17th century, and fell into disrepair. In 1923, H.C. Lawlor and the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society partly renovated the tower house to avoid further erosion and built a buttress wall to support the northwest corner of the tower. Location Mahee Castle is in the west of Mahee Island. It is beside a causeway; the only land crossing to the island. Today this causeway is crossed by a narrow road. Mahee Island is near the western shore of Strangford Lough, southeast of the town of Comber. The tower house sits on a drumlin. Nearby is a car park. Architecture The rectangular tower house guards the bridge onto the island, and to the southwest there are the remains of a walled enclosure, known as a bawn. Mahee Castle encloses a boatbay, lying on the shore of the lake, and is quite small, with only two rooms on the ground floor. The main part, the tower-house, is three stories tall, although little remains of the upper floors. The entrance passes under a murder-hole. History The tower house was built in 1570 by an English soldier, Captain Thomas Browne, after petition to the Bishop of Down. It was abandoned by the early 17th century. The corner stones may have been taken for local building projects, and stones from the northeastern wall were used to make the causeway to the island. During the 15th and 16th centuries, Mahee Castle was near the border of two territories: Clandeboye to the north and Dufferin to the south. At this time the area would have been subject to border conflicts, and Mahee Castle may have changed hands many times. In 1923, under the direction of H.C. Lawlor, restoration works were undertaken by the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society. As part of this work, ivy was removed from the wall, cracks were grouted with cement, the top was waterproofed and a buttress wall was built to support the northeast corner of the tower. Excavations Under a program sponsored by the Environment and Heritage Service of Ireland, archaeological excavations were carried out at Mahee Castle during 2001 and 2002. This included detailed stratigraphic sequencing, which revealed animal remains and remnants dated to the Late Medieval period, meaning that the building could have existed before 1570. The goal of the excavations was to evolve a restoration program. The archaeological finds consisted of shells and animal bones, knives and an array of pottery ranging over several centuries. Large quantities of modern glass were found, in addition to flint and pot shards. The excavations revealed that the foundation of the tower was on an artificial terrace which was created for the purpose on the northeastern end of a drumlin. The rear end of this terrace had been stabilised by a buttress retaining wall built in 1923, 4 metres (13 ft) from the tower's southwestern end. References
Mahee Castle

Mahee Castle, ook bekend als Nendrum Castle, is een zestiende-eeuws kasteel, gelegen op het eiland Mahee Island in het Strangford Lough, circa vijf kilometer ten zuidoosten van Comber in County Down, Noord-Ierland. Etymologie De naam Mahee is afgeleid van Mochaoi, de heilige die traditioneel de abdij van Nendrum op Mahee Island heeft gesticht. Geschiedenis Mahee Castle werd gebouwd ergens in de vijftiende of zestiende eeuw, al wordt traditioneel het jaar 1570 gehanteerd waarbij de bouwer de Engelse militair kapitein Browne zou zijn. Het kasteel lag op een strategische locatie, namelijk in het grensgebied van de Heer van Clandeboye (aan de noordzijde) en van de Heer van Dufferin (aan de zuidzijde). Het kasteel bewaakte de doorgang tussen Mahee Island en Reagh Island. Het kasteel werd in de late zestiende eeuw of begin zeventiende eeuw verlaten en was vervallen tot een ruïne in de late zeventiende of vroege achttiende eeuw. In de negentiende eeuw werd er een dam met weg aangelegd vanaf Reagh Island, waardoor de noordzijde van het kasteel bedreigd werd door erosie door het getij. In 1887 en in 1923 werden er restauratiewerkzaamheden verricht aan Mahee Castle. Bij de restauratie in 1923 door H.C. Lawlor werd een steunbeer aangelegd aan de noordzijde van het kasteel met een verstevigende muur richting de noordoostelijke zijde. In 2001-2002 werden er archeologische opgravingen verricht door respectievelijk Ruaíri Ó Baoill en Philip Macdonald. In 2004 werd de ruïne geconsolideerd door de Environment and Heritage Service. Beschrijving Mahee Castle heeft een relatief kleine, rechthoekige plattegrond en beslaat een oppervlakte van 12,2 meter bij 6,7 meter.. Het kasteel is gebouwd op een aangelegd terras in een drumlin. De muren zijn 1,5 meter dik behalve de zuidoostelijke muur die 1,8 meter dik is. De entree van 1,1 meter breed bevindt zich in de noordwestelijke muur waar zich een gat voor een deurbalk bevindt en een moordgat. Links van de deur was een trap naar de eerste verdieping. Het kasteel heeft twee vertrekken op de begane grond. De grootste van de twee heeft halfrond gewelfd plafond op een centrale plank. De kleinste heeft een spits gewelf gebouwd op gepaarde rieten matten. Deze kleinste ruimte is vermoedelijk een opslagruimte. Het kasteel had hierboven twee volgende verdiepingen, maar is bewaard gebleven tot een hoogte van 7,6 meter. Aan de zuidwestzijde van het kasteel is een muur gebouwd tegen de heuvel aan als deel van het aangelegde terras in de rotsheuvel. Mahee Castle heeft in de 21e eeuw zijn toegang aan de oostelijke zijde waar de County Road loopt. Beheer Mahee Castle is een State Care Monument net als op hetzelfde eiland gelegen Nendrum Ecclesiastical Site. Externe link (en) Department for Communities, Historic Environment, Mahee Castle

Замок Баймаунт

Замок Манреса-хаус (англ. Manresa House castle, Granby Hall, Baymount Castle) — він же: Грендбі-холл, Баймаунт — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Дублін. Нині цей замок належить Товариству Ісуса (ордену єзуїтів, римо-католицька церква). Замок стоїть біля парку Сент-Енн в районі Доллімаунт, в Клонтарфі, що нині є частиною Дубліна. У ХІХ столітті замок був власністю Роберта Воррена та Артура Гіннеса. Замок є пам'яткою історії та архітектури і охороняється державою. Історія замку Манреса-хаус Нині замок Манреса-хаус є прекрасним будинком, окрасою міста. Протягом своєї історії замок змінив багато назв та багато власників. Спочатку замок був відомий як Грендбі-холл, потім замок Баймаунт. Власники замку володіли 17 акрами землі навколо замку. До 1783 року замок був резиденцією єпископа Дауна і Коннора преподобного Джеймса Трейла. У 1838 році замок був реконструйований Робертом Ворреном. Незабаром після цього замок став власністю сестри Лорето, яка використовувала його як школу. У 1851 році він був реконструйований сестрами Лорето, бо замок був серйозно пошкоджений під час пожежі в тому ж році. У 1898 році сестри Лорето продали замок Артуру Гіннесу — І барону Арділауну і переїхали в Балбрігган. Приблизно з 1914 по 1936 рік замок був використаний як школа під назвою Баймаунт, потім замок був тоді придбаний Джоном Гвінном, людиною з відомої родини Гвінн. До цієї родини належали такі відомі письменники як Стівен Гвінн та Едварда Гвінн. У 1948 році архієпископ Дубліна Джон Чарльз МакКвейд попросив орден єзуїтів створити духовний центр в районі Доллімаунт. Орден єзуїтів купив замок Баймаунт. Орден перейменував замок в Манреса-хаус на честь Манреси в Каталонії, Іспанія, де Ігнатій Лойола — засновник ордену єзуїтів отримав багато духовного досвіду, які сприяли розробці його релігійних концепцій. Центр проводить різноманітні релігійні заходи, семінари, а також 30-денну духовну аскезу. В овальній кімнаті для медитації та молитви є набір вітражів, розроблених художником Еві Хоун. Вони були встановлені в 1990-х роках.

Moorstown Castle

Moorstown Castle (irisch Caisleán Bhaile na Móna) ist die Ruine eines Tower House im Townland Moorstown (Baile na Móna), etwa 9,5 Kilometer westlich von Clonmel im irischen County Tipperary. Beschreibung Das Tower House besteht aus einem runden Donjon und einer Einfriedung durch eine Hofmauer. Dies ist untypisch für Irland, da dort die meisten Tower Houses einen quadratischen oder rechteckigen Grundriss haben. Geschichte James Keating, ein Alliierter des Duke of Ormonde ließ Moorstown Castle Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts errichten. Die Burg und ihre Ländereien fielen 1635 an Robert Cox und dann durch Heirat an die Familie Greene. 1855 kaufte Richard Grubb das Anwesen durch den Landed Estates Court. Auch heute noch ist es in privater Hand. Man denkt, dass der katholische Priester, Dichter und Geschichtswissenschaftler Seathrún Céitinn (Geoffrey Keating) familiäre Verbindungen zu dieser Burg hatte. Es gibt Hinweise dafür, dass er der dritte Sohn von James FitzEdmund Keating von Moorstown Castle war und möglicherweise auf Moorstown Castle geboren wurde. Moorstown Castle war einer der Drehorte von Stanley Kubricks Monumentalfilm Barry Lyndon aus dem Jahr 1975.

Moorstown Castle

Moorstown Castle is a late 15th-century stone structure consisting of an enclosed circular keep near Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland. Location The tower house complex is located on a small road off the modern road from Clonmel to Cahir; while visible from the main road, it is on private land. It stands on a grassed limestone hillock. History Moorstown Castle was built by James Keating, an ally of the Earl of Ormond. The castle and associated lands passed, under a mortgage agreement, to Robert Cox of Bruff in 1635, and then by marriage to the Greene family. It was bought by Richard Grubb through the Landed Estates Court in 1855. As of 2011, the property remained in private ownership. It is thought that the 17th-century Catholic priest, poet and historian Geoffrey Keating (Seathrún Céitinn) had family connections with the castle; evidence suggests that he may have been the third son of James FitzEdmund Keating of Moorstown. Structure Moorstown consists of a circular tower house or keep, and a protective walled courtyard or bawn; the bawn was probably built first and the tower house added later. The bawn, built with limestone facing inside and outside, and a rubble core, has two defensive towers, to the southwest and northeast, and a fortified gatehouse with residential space for guards. The four-storey circular tower house found at Moorstown is unusual in Irish architecture, most Irish tower houses being square, but the form is found at several locations in County Tipperary. There is a spiral staircase, and the main living space was on the second floor. The second floor has one larger window; otherwise most of the windows of the building are small. The third floor is believed to have been used to accommodate doves. There are musket loops for defence in multiple locations, and the building has parapets but no battlements. Popular culture Moorstown Castle was one of the Tipperary locations used in Stanley Kubrick's 1975 epic film Barry Lyndon.

Замок Мурстоун

Замок Мурстаун (англ. Moorstown Castle) — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Тіпперері, в 6 милях на захід від селища Клонмел. Історія замку Мурстаун Замок Мурстаун — це кам'яна споруда кінця XV століття, що складається з круглої вежі та внутрішнього дворику. Кругла вежа нетипова для замків ірландії цього часу та типу — більшість замків мали башти та вежі квадратні. Замок Мурстаун був побудований ірландським аристократом Джеймсом Кітінгом — союзником графа Ормонда. Замок та землі навколо нього перейшли у власність Роберта Кокса у 1635 році, що мав шлюб з жінкою з аристократичної родини Грін. Потім замок купив Річард Грабб через земельний суд у 1855 році. Замок, майно та землі навколо замку і нині залишаються в приватній власності. Вважається, що відомий католицький священик, поет та історик XVII століття Джеффрі Кітінг (Сеахрун Кетін) мав родинні зв'язки з власниками замку. Є версія, що він, можливо, був третім сином Джеймса Фіца Едмунда Кетінга Морстауна. Замок Мурстаун був одним з місць та споруд графства Тіпперері, що використали в епічному фільмі Стенлі Кубрика «Баррі Ліндон» (1975). Джерела «ByRoute 4.2 Co. Tipperary & Co.
