🏰Uncovering the secrets of Ardgillan Castle - Discover Ireland ☘

[@MyViewsOfTheWorld]

I wish I could have shown more in the video, but it would have been way too long. There is so much more at Ardgillan worth visiting and exploring. I might make a part 2!

Visited this place hundreds of times but never knew so much of what you include here. Nice job 👍

[@MyViewsOfTheWorld]

Thank you for watching and for your comment! Yes, it is full of history and it links in with other estates. Have you taken the tour? I hear now in the summer the gardens are exploding with colour!

@@MyViewsOfTheWorld I have had a look through the interior some years ago. I think I had access through one of my kids being invited to a kids party there, so never got the history. It’s a lovely spot. The view of the Sea always seems almost confusingly impressive.

They have restored it further. Every visit there seems to be a new room open for visitors. I intend on revisiting in the future to see what is new.

The library and the gardens look great! These walls with books remind secret rooms behind the bookstand

[@MyViewsOfTheWorld]

Yes! This castle actually has hidden hallways for the servants. Sadly, no secret passages I could find. Thanks for watching.

Cromwell did not receive fame in Ireland , but infamy . He conducted a campaign of genocidal barbarism against the civilian population , butchering men and women alike , as casually dismissed " in defending English interests " . Many big houses , owned by rapacious absentee landlords living in England , were burnt to the ground by Irish rebels , who were denied the ownership of property , denied education and the right to practice their religion . Having insufficient land to feed themselves the potato was the main diet . These landlords ensured that a potato blight would lead to famine - absentee genocide . Those house that " survived " until to-day do so because their tenants were treated better than most . Trivially treated history has it's own agenda too . Ghost stories ,aren't they great ?

That is true, I should have said infamy. It was a dark time for Ireland indeed and the Irish Rebellion is one topic I need to cover in a future video. Ireland has a lot of history, unfortunately, like anywhere else, a lot of it is dark, but it is an amazing country with amazing people, which is why, out of all the countries in the world, I am here now. Thank you for watching and for your message.
