We started our night out by visiting a beautiful, old church and graveyard in Ovens. We had often seen the church's spire from a distance and had always presumed that the building was a ruin.  The church seemed to be in a good state of repair but sadly had been boarded up to prevent vandals from destroying the inside. We had a walk around the grounds in the fading light reading the old gravestones and thinking about the people buried there. We then moved on to our main location. The old castle in Ballincollig is just a ruin now but the remains of the walls are still visible along with a l ..read more

 We all know how hard it is to stick to the lockdown laws but finally, with the vaccination programmes progressing albeit slowly, it looks like we may finally, be turning a corner.

We entered the building and immediately set up a ca ..read more

Inside we found that the whole place had been restored to a very high standard while keeping to the style (and hardships) of the times. The castle had three floors as well as a seating area on the roof. The ground floor ..read more
