Ps this is my local landscape 🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4W6d2Spi6p_ic0. Slightly different to yours! I’ve also done some castles locally too. Have a great day 👍🏻

The open chamber at the end of the cliff was where the kitchen used to be. It fell into the sea in a horrifying landslide during a raging storm; killing a few cooks and servants, too.

It was far from miserable and bleak, it was quite an opulent castle; with a large town attached; and fertile valleys and lands in the hills inland; not to mention the rich sea full of food, resources, trade links.

@@SuperiorByFar OK? All castles were opulent ( for the times ) and most of them were seasonal residences for the royal families who also had retreats in warmer areas during the harsh winter months. Those that did not move had to burn wood, coal, dung, to stay warm and to cook meals as well as wear layers of cold weather clothing. The inner wood buildings of a castle were the residences for the royal family and they kept them warm with fireplaces, oil lamps, candles as well as tapestries, rugs, furs, and goose down and wool clothing. Castles were not cost effective - but they gave the Royal Families a safe place to live unless they were attacked and looted by enemy forces.

@@faerieSAALE Oh I agree with you there, but this castle was stated to have been quite cosy, well maintained, used all year round, a proper home within a fortress. The only snag came when their kitchen crumbled and fell into the sea one stormy night...along with half the servants and cooks. They were living the dream right on the edge.

@@faerieSAALE Oh, and before I forget, they were also one of the first places in Ireland to have actual glass windows, too. This added to the comfort levels within. Less wind, less drafty, and better heat retention. Almost a modern house, by its standards.

Phantom with gopro, old setup. It is National Trust.

@@puckacostello1 Ta, if you are local Magheracross Car Park and Kinbane Head are nice too but probably not advisable in spring when the birds are nesting.

Yeah I've a video of kinbane on here, got rid of the phantom a good few years ago and was using a mavic pro for a while. Now switched to an FPV drone

@@puckacostello1 A couple of years ago I saw an American? flying a sports? drone at Kinbane, it was incredible. He was, at SPEED, using the tower on the headland as a tunnel, in through a/the window and up out the top of the tower then back again. One twitch at the wrong time and he'd have had a pile of bits dropping to the floor.

Yeah that sounds like an fpv drone ! They do circa 100mph

Emailed !

National trust won't allow you to fly there they own the copyright! No joke.

So how do you get around the NT’s blanket ban over Drones in their (our) parts of the country? Your sequence - inspirational 🇯🇲

I live just 5 Minutes for the causeway so lucky enough to have easy picking for the weather! Thank you

Shaun Costello lucky. i live in fuckin divis

This is Northern Ireland a different country to Ireland just a fun fact ☺️

Republic of Ireland (ROI) and Northern Ireland (NI) are 2 different countries, politically.

i was on holiday in ireland this summer (or whatever you call that season). I tell you, your country is has way more nature than austria, where i come from. This is mainly because it seems that your farmers are living in the cities and just go out to their cattle, while austrian farmers just plant a gaint farmhouse into the middle of their fields. There are so few places where you can see no trace of humans in austria, but many in ireland. I hope you cherrish that.

The north coast must have been an amazing place to live in the past. Littered with ancient ruins of tartary.
