A stunning castle! The restoration is being beautifully done, I was blown away with the detail of the brick work and the window seats. The garden is lovely, but the kitchen garden was the best I've seen for layout and produce. I really enjoyed seeing this one, the story of the dog was sad but a wonderful way to show the love and devotion of a dog. Thank you so much Sue, I will watch this a few times as I do most of your video's to take everything in. 💕🇦🇺
Thank you Liz, can't wait until they are finished and we can visit to see the whole inside properly, hopefully without covid restrictions and masks too ❤️🍀🇮🇪
It's wonderful to see these magnificent buildings being restored, with our spoiling the original. The furniture is lovely. I want that walled kitchen garden. The grounds alone are beautiful.
Hey Sue, another great video. This castle is absolutely stunning. The fire back in the day was tragic, but its amazing how something like that could spur so many to the awesome work of restoring it, a task that continues to this day. So many of the artifacts on display, the furniture peices, paintings, etc., is awash in history. Love it. Id never seen or heard of a story like Furys before either, its so touching that a plaque commemorates the spot where he lost his life, and that his skeleton is shown to the visitors as well...he wont be forgotten. Thanks also for the tour of the gardens, especially in the rain, youre a real trooper! Thankx again :)
Thank you Sue .This was a treat today .Such a shame it had a fire but at least they are working on the restorations.The trouble is fire was dangerous in those times with candles and oil lamps still as well as the open fires.There have been a few I visited in the U.K. when we used to go out for our rides at the weekend .The main houses have been burnt out and the family just leave them All the land they are on too .You can’t understand why they do it can you really? But most families had several homes so they more than likely just moved to another. I bet when it’s refurbished it will look amazing inside though.You need to treat yourself to a golf umbrella Sue.. At least it will keep you dry when it rains.Just don’t use it when windy or you’ll be popping over to me for a cup of tea like Mary Poppins lol !..Love n Light 🥰

What a beautiful garden. I can't imagine how many people were needed to maintain it.
How nice that poor Fury was commentated on such a way.
Ahh it's a sad but lovely story about Fury 🍀🇮🇪❤️
