The TOWN of GREYSTONES
I ended up in Greystones after my hike on the cliff walk from Bray. What a beautiful hike! The trail kind of spits you out at the North beach of Greystones. I found some huge rocks in the distance away from some of the people down at the beach. I ended up having lunch here, it was much needed after that hike.
After lunch, I decided to go figure out where the train station was. Upon realising, it would still be another half hour walk away I figured I'd go down and check out the Greystones Harbour. I subsequently found myself at St. Partricks Church, a small quaint little church. Unfortunately, it was seemingly closed so I had to continue onward. Right before I reached the train station, I found a huge mushroom carved out of a tree stump. It was pretty neat.
I eventually made it to the train station and took it back to the Dublin city center.
Exploring Threecastles, County Wicklow - Ireland
Threecastles is a tower house, dating to the 1500s situated in County Wicklow, Ireland and built of granite.
It is located in close proximity to the upper reaches of the River Liffey, that flows from the Wicklow Mountains, past this area, to the Irish Sea through Dublin City.
The name, Threecastles, is said to derive from the presence of three of these fortified houses in the area, of which only this one survives in ruins.
I photographed it on a blue sky autumn day.
