Rock of Cashel is a huge historical place, but most don't truly take in that info . They are just too enchanted by this stunning piece of Architecture!
This amazing structure is thankfully being saved and even while I was there you could not see the cathedral part as it was under reconstruction and off limits to most. Still, you didn't feel like you missed seeing any of it. Even the graves are impressive ! Large carved stones with celtic knots and gothic looking details.
THe view.. rolling hillsides as well as the little village of Cashel can be seen from up her . Clearly it's location was picked for this reason as well as control. You can see danger from any angle.
Here you also get to see the classic vision you might have in your head of Ireland. Lush green rolling hills with sheep everywhere. I sat her at this location, just at the foot of the castle and by an impressive stone wall and watched little baby sheep nursing their mom. Such a beautiful site and truly what I had expected to see in Ireland. It didn't disappoint.
Oh the crows... this impressive structure is medival and all the graves surrounding it .... and watch the crows fly around and onto it on a gloomy day such as this gave it an erie feeling. I think if it was evening, I would have been slightly creeped out.
Truly love this location! So glad I got to see it!
I loved the graves... creepy, yet so impressive.
