What sunsets in Dublin can look like .. . . Although the sun is setting at the opposite direction from where the line of sight in the picture is, it is still a magnificent sunset with beautiful colours. This is the view from Blackrock towards the Howth Peninsula, overlooking Dublin Bay that looks like a mirror due to low tide. The clouds complete the picture and reflection.

Erris Head Loop Walk 📍 . "Erris Head loop Walk is a 5km walk which begins at the car park, by following the marked pillars of the loop walk you will see spectacular views along the way, some of which include Illandavuck Island, Pigeon Rock and �some sea arches. Also along the trail you will come across a dated and dilapidated building which in previous times served as a Coast Watch Station. Nearby you will see a stone construction of the word EIRE (Gaelic for Ireland), signalling landfall for Pilots swooping in off the Atlantic during World War II. Following on from there you will reach the skirts �of Ooghwee inlet before reaching a concrete pillar which served as an information gathering structure for the meteorological Service.

Last week, the Kilkea Castle Team had the pleasure of visiting Newbridge Silverware, where they were thrilled to take part in the new live factory tour. This unique experience allowed them to witness firsthand the meticulous craftsmanship behind each piece of cutlery, jewelry, and ornaments, all lovingly handmade. They were also captivated by the Museum of Style Icons, which showcases original items of iconic celebrity fashion history. Highlights included Princess Diana's famous "revenge" dress, Audrey Hepburn's timeless "Little Black Dress," and Liza Minelli's costume from "Cabaret." Additionally, the showroom offered a stunning shopping experience, featuring a curated selection of bespoke jewellery. Not to be missed was the Christmas store, open 365 days a year. To top it all off, they enjoyed a delightful meal at the quaint restaurant, indulging in homemade lunch items. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience right on their doorstep! #KilkeaCastle #Beyondthegates #teamkildare #irelandsancienteast #intokildare #irelandsancienteast #partnership

✨A traditional Irish riddle✨ 'I wash my face in water that has never rained nor run and dry it with a towel that was never wove or spun." . . . . . . ✨A face washed in the dew, at dawn, on May the first, and dried only by the warmth of the sun.✨ A traditional practice on Bealtaine is the washing of one's face in the morning's dew to ensure a youthful and healthy complexion for the year ahead. In many places, the dew was believed to hold as much healing as water drawn from a holy well. It contained within it health for the body. #bealtaine #dew #mayday #irishlore #folklore #water #holywell #rituals #health #traditions #keepdiscovering #blessings #goodluck #prosperity #remember #restore #lostgarden #irelandsancienteast #meath #dunboyne #keepdiscovering #walledgarden #may #mayday #riddles

Hello May, and hello sunshine ☀️💛 #HelloMay #HelloSunshine #Spring #TankardstownHouse #IrishCountryHouse #ManorHouse #IrelandsBlueBook #Meath #BoyneValley #IrelandsAncientEast #CountryHouseWeddingVenue
✨ The Bright Season Begins… Lá Fhéile Bealtaine ! Bealtaine is thought to mean ‘bright or goodly fire’. It is one of the oldest festival days in Ireland. Bealtaine marks the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. This year Bealtaine falls on 5th May at 00:00 At this time every year, fires were lit at Uisneach to ‘welcome-in the Summer’. This was an important date in the Irish calendar bringing celebration and merriment. To the ancient celts, the year was divided into a light half and a dark half. Bealtaine celebrated the end of the darkness and the coming of the light and just like Samhain, it was marked in ancient times with the lighting of great bonfires. Ancient verses known as the ‘Dindshenchas’ (Lore of Places) tell us that the first great fire was lit on the Hill of Uisneach by the druid Míde (the eponym of Meath). The fire burned for seven years and across the land, every chief’s hearth was lit from it. When the other druids objected to Míde keeping the fire ablaze, he gathered them together at Uisneach where it is said, he cut out their tongues and buried them on the Hill ! From ancient times until the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, tribal leaders, chiefs, kings and High Kings would gather at Uisneach in ritual celebration of Bealtaine. A huge fire was lit on the summit of this sacred hill, visible to over a quarter of the country. We can imagine that bards would share their knowledge and relay stories of surrounding counties’ goings-on and tales of further afield. Poets would recite words that painted many a-picture in the minds-eye of eager, listners present. Music may have filled the air, sweeping over the grassy knolls and flooding the celebrations with a sense of excitment. The cantations of Druids being heard reverberating around the Hill. The Fire would then be lit and upon seeing the light from Uisneach, fires were then ignited on hills and mountains across Ireland, ushering in the light half of the year.

✨ The Bright Season Begins… Lá Fhéile Bealtaine ! Bealtaine is thought to mean ‘bright or goodly fire’. It is one of the oldest festival days in Ireland. Bealtaine marks the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. This year Bealtaine falls on 5th May at 00:00 At this time every year, fires were lit at Uisneach to ‘welcome-in the Summer’. This was an important date in the Irish calendar bringing celebration and merriment. To the ancient celts, the year was divided into a light half and a dark half. Bealtaine celebrated the end of the darkness and the coming of the light and just like Samhain, it was marked in ancient times with the lighting of great bonfires. Ancient verses known as the ‘Dindshenchas’ (Lore of Places) tell us that the first great fire was lit on the Hill of Uisneach by the druid Míde (the eponym of Meath). The fire burned for seven years and across the land, every chief’s hearth was lit from it. When the other druids objected to Míde keeping the fire ablaze, he gathered them together at Uisneach where it is said, he cut out their tongues and buried them on the Hill ! From ancient times until the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, tribal leaders, chiefs, kings and High Kings would gather at Uisneach in ritual celebration of Bealtaine. A huge fire was lit on the summit of this sacred hill, visible to over a quarter of the country. We can imagine that bards would share their knowledge and relay stories of surrounding counties’ goings-on and tales of further afield. Poets would recite words that painted many a-picture in the minds-eye of eager, listners present. Music may have filled the air, sweeping over the grassy knolls and flooding the celebrations with a sense of excitment. The cantations of Druids being heard reverberating around the Hill. The Fire would then be lit and upon seeing the light from Uisneach, fires were then ignited on hills and mountains across Ireland, ushering in the light half of the year.

Are you ready for some more Blue Bells? .. . . Every year round this time we go on “Blue Bell Hunt”, a hunt to find the best Blue Bell spots at the Emerald Isle. Last weekend we maybe found the best spot so far; Clogrennane Woods in County Carlow. The forest looked like an enchanted forest with the soil covered in a carpet of Blue Bells. The area is an old wood and has had forestry cover present since the 1800’s. The predominant tree species in Clogrennane are beech, spruce, larch and oak with vegetation consistent with that of an old woodland – bluebells, ferns, wild garlic and herb rocket.
