ManorHamilton Castle - County Leitrim - Ireland
Quick video of ManorHamilton (Manor Hamilton) castle in County Leitrim Ireland. Enjoy!
Manorhamilton Castle in Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim withstood attacks in 1641 during the Irish rebellion but was taken and burned by the Earl of Clanrickard in 1652 during the War of the Three Kingdoms.
Personal guided tours conducted by the owners allow you to explore and view the Castle and visit the permanent exhibition from the period.
Learn why & how the Castle was built and later destroyed.
Prior to the plantation the area was known as Clonmullen or‘Cluain Maoláin’ in Gaelic, meaning ‘The Hillside Meadow’, and was occupied by the O’Rourke clan.
The present name in the Irish, ‘Cluainín Uí Ruairc‘, which translates as ‘O’Rourke’s Little Meadow’, also reflects that history.
The emphasis on ‘meadow’ in both names perhaps indicating that the location was a sought-after area of fertile farmland

Leitrim; Where a number of local community groups and schools in Manorhamilton colaborate for another successful Samhain parade and fire festival held at Manorhamilton castle. The Samhain theme seeks to invigorates and mobilise the community's connection to the land, encouraging people to explore rural traditions and folklore through the use of traditional materials such as willow, hemp, fire, straw, and paper, combining other elements such as movement, sound, and lighting. The castle provides an atmospheric and historically accessible backdrop to the creative work of this annual project.
This video includes a spoken dialogue about Julia Cameron's concept of an artist’s date , the origins and folklaw of Samhain and a little on this year’s parade❞

Manorhamilton, County Leitrim to Sligo
A lovely drive from Manorhamilton in County Leitrim to Sligo, Ireland. It was taken on board a BMW R1200GS with a Kodak ZX1 pocket camcorder on a suction mount. The mount does give a little movement but most of this can be taken out by software when editing. The smaller picture is from a keychain spy camera from ebay at less that £5. This is a lovely part of the country so enjoy.
