    It's been awhile. I used to live in east Cork. Hopefully by the time i come back i will have earned enough to buy my own castle. Who wouldn't love to buy an old ruin and restore it. There's no better place than Cork. Go raibh maith agat!

    Thank you so much! I had considered it but ultimately I ended up classing such text as 'on screen clutter'. If it's any help, the castles are all named in the order they appear in the video description.

    Castlefreke is in a tiny place called Owenahincha, a mile or so from Rosscarberry. I played in it when I was a kid. Would love to see how good the inside is after it's renovation.
