Mallow, County Cork
Admission: free
September 2015
My Dad and stopped at Mallow castle on our drive from Kilkenny to Dingle. It was not on our plans - we simply saw the sign and decided to stop and boy are we glad we did.
There are actually two building on the grounds of Mallow Castle. There are the ruins of the 16th Century fortified house (seen in picture) and the 18th Century estate house. There is also a herd of white deer that dates back to the herd that was gifted to the residing family by Queen Elizabeth I.
As an American walking around the ground, I could help but think of the Locksley Castle from the beginning of the film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
