When I go back to Ireland, the Kylemore Castle is on my to-do list. Doesn't it look like it's out of a fairy tale? It was originally built in 1867 as a romantic gift...can you imagine?
A wealthy couple was honeymooning in Connemara and they were so enchanted by the beauty of the landscape, he bought the land and built her a castle. The estate was later purchased in 1920 by the Irish Benedictine Nuns and is now an Abbey, open for visitors.
Have you been to Ireland?
