We drove through small towns and up winding country roads to get to the site of the castle, and it was absolutely marvelous. There were painters all around one of the nearby fields, trying to capture its splendor.
The castle itself was very impressive, but the views were the best part.
You felt like you could see for miles.
The castle itself was also very impressive.
I may or may not be about to fall over on those steep steps...
My favorite picture: my Grampy taking it all in.
Only regret? Not renting a flashlight so I could check out the cave that was connected to the castle.
As far as we were able to go; it was pitch black.
The stairs leading back up to the castle.
After the castle, we continued on to Fishguard to see my cousin and her family. They own a fantastic B&B, so they put us up in one of their rooms. Talk about living in the lap of luxury! Every morning we would wake up, go down to the dining room for a cooked breakfast, go upstairs to get ready, and then walk over to their connecting cottage to hash out the day. Our room even had a tea station (yes, again with the tea. Sorry.)! But I'm getting ahead of myself...
The night we got there, we relaxed with a delicious meal, made by my cousin's husband who's an amazing cook. Then, we were able to just relax with a cuppa and catch up. It had been, after all, three and a half years since we'd last seen them.
