Hell-Fire Club

Reviewed By stevenhW4042HX - College Park, United States

Words of advice, stay on the path if you are not in great shape. My family suggested a shortcut which the locals refer to as “the Illuminator”. I now understand because of the level of difficulty and the view from the other. Well, I made it and felt so good. The view is stunning. More than worth the hike. The story of the sight is fascinating and if you love haunted tales you will love this. A little out of the way but so worth it!!!

Swords Castle

Reviewed By lorcanireland2020

Ruined by an industrial walk way around the internal walls signed off by the Office of Public Works and LCC costing a small fortune of tax payers money(millions) and installed by engineers who got the measurements wrong and is only accessible on half the internal wall.(they fecked up) Brown envelopes no doubt involved ! This is a crying shame and has ruined the appearance and this magnificent Palace where the Bishop of Dublin resided many moons ago. Should be removed , money repaid, metal walk way removed and a wooden structure should be installed in its place...this attempt to marry the old with the new does not work at all! IT'S DREADFUL!

Nelsons Head

In Ireland, Admiral Horatio Nelson was a figure standing on top of a 134' Doric column in the middle of O'Connell Street. He appeared to symbolise English rule over the waves (an over Ireland). In 1966, on the anniversary of the Easter Rising of 1966, persons unknown, put some plastic explosives under Nelson. Both he and his piller jumped up in the air and came down in smithereens.
