Abandoned Ireland (Connolly Dominic)(Pevná vazba) - diskuze

Illustrated with stunning photographs, Abandoned Ireland provides a fascinating pictorial exploration of the little-known corners of this enchanting land.   There are thousands of ruined castles, abbeys, churches, ancient sites, houses, and mills spread around the island of Ireland, and this book offers you a substantial taste of the most intriguing of these. In Abandoned Ireland, discover Athassel Abbey on the banks of the River Suir and the largest medieval priory in Ireland; marvel at the imposing Carrigogunnell Castle, destroyed during the second siege of Limerick in 1691; explore Carrigglas Manor, a turreted fairytale exterior with a bloody history; see Hilden Mill, a former factory with ghostly sightings; explore the creepy, overgrown ruin of Ennis District Lunatic Asylum in County Clare; and wander the ruins of Rinn Dúin (“fortified headland”) overlooking the River Shannon, a key military and trading town fought over by Norman barons and Irish chieftains.
