OUGHTERARD<\/h1>\n

After a much-needed and restful night sleep at\u00a0Corrib View Country<\/a>\"\"<\/a> House<\/a>\u00a0(just to the East of Oughterard on Lough Corrib) we sat down to another version of a Traditional Irish Breakfast<\/a>. \u00a0It was always different: 1 or 2 eggs; with or without white and\/or black pudding. \u00a0There was always ample tasty meat thought. \u00a0The sausage was pretty consistent throughout our travels. \u00a0It had a creamy texture and great flavor. \u00a0At 10g fat per link I now know why. \u00a0So good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just down the way a bit from our B&B was Aughnanure Castle. \u00a0We stopped by the previous evening before checking into our B&B, but it was about to close. \u00a0We instead went back to Oughterard to look around and get a bite to eat. \u00a0The town center was very busy with foot traffic and patrons have a pint (or several). \u00a0The streets were lined with shops – no strip mall style anything here. \u00a0We located a nice pub with fish & chips easily. \u00a0You can never go wrong with fish & chips. \u00a0We were very tired from a full day of travel and sightseeing, but could not resist stopping by and old cemetery we drove by on the way into town.<\/p>\n

AUGHNANURE CASTLE<\/h1>\n

Google Maps describes this site as a well-preserved Irish tower fortress with gargantuan fireplaces and a watchtower you can climb.<\/p>\n

Built by the O’Flahertys c. 1500, Aughnanure Castle lies in picturesque surroundings close to the shores of Lough Corrib.\u00a0 In 1546 the O’Flaherty’s motto “Fortune favours the strong<\/em>” and the powerful Mayo O’Malleys Motto “Powerful by land and by sea<\/em>“, were joined in the marriage of Donal an Chogaidh O’Flaherty and Grainuaile\/Grace O’Malley.\u00a0 Standing on what is virtually a rocky island, the castle is a particularly well-preserved example of an Irish tower house. In addition, visitors will find the remains of a banqueting hall, a watch tower, an unusual double bawn and bastions and a dry harbour.<\/p>\n

–Heritage Ireland<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I very much enjoyed visiting this castle as there were very few people milling about. \u00a0The setting was beautiful with the lazy Drimneed River flowing by the outer stone walls on two sides. \u00a0All structures such as these typically have an interesting feature known as a meurtri\u00e8re\u00a0at a main gateway to the premise to thwart attackers , but I’d never heard it described as a “Murder Hole” before. \u00a0It is quite an accurate description really.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one was relatively small; I am guessing as this whole site wasn’t large in comparison to some castles, but a murder hole nonetheless is was.<\/p>\n

Here are some additional \u00a0images of the interior.<\/p>\n

Back in the 1500s this site was a bit more formidable. \u00a0Today most\u00a0of the inner walls are gone while the outer walls remain intact. \u00a0We were fortunate; during our visit in the morning there were very few people there which allowed for easy photographing.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos of the grounds. \u00a0The softer light\u00a0the evening before was nicer (first two photos) than the bright sunshine of the next morning.<\/p>\n
