Rock of Cashel




The Rock of Cashel is a place that lets you feel how old it is.  The ferns, mosses, and lichens that grow through the walls and rocks look as though they have always been there. 

  This is especially interesting because the cemetery around the castle is still currently being used. 


                                                                       


 It’s quite an intriguing contrast to have headstones that are from the last year just feet away from those that are so worn by time that you cannot read them.  While the Rock of Cashel is beautiful, it also doesn’t have any formal garden to speak of.  It has some internal sections that are maintained, but the majority of its grounds are being left to time and surrounded by picturesque fields of sheep and cows grazing.

Dunmore Cave

  Dunmore Cave is a limestone cave similar to Mammoth cave in the eastern United States.                                         Since Ireland is relatively rainy, there is a constant supply of water that seeps through the rocks to form stalactites and stalagmites in addition to other rock structures that look almost like curtains of rock.     The cave is accessible through a single entrance and I was able to tour 3 main caverns.     There is also an accompanying interpretive center; however rather than the geology, it concentrates on the lore and archeological finds from the cave.

Glendalough

                                         Glendalough contains the ruins of a monastery and a cemetery that is still being added to today.       It is surrounded by the Wicklow Mountains National Park which is full of breathtaking views of green including a variety of coniferous and deciduous trees and wild flowers of pink, purple, and yellow.     It is not a garden, however it is a pollinator conservation space like many of the other locations I visited on this trip.

Dublin Castle

                                      Dublin castle has been a part of Ireland’s history for a very long time and is still used today for various activities and ceremonies.     The gardens associated with the castle are open for public use and many locals enjoy reading on the benches or sitting in one of the corner areas to take advantage of the quiet space without leaving the city.       The garden is organized as a space to support local wildlife.     There are many pollinator plants that are also common in California such as various colors of salvia and hydrangea.     There is a large open space in the center of the garden, but it’s not for public use.     I would imagine it’s difficult to maintain if people are allowed to picnic and play on it.     Dublin castle’s gardens are also home to a commemorative space in honor of peo...
