Here's a peek at four landmark properties worth a visit on your next trip -- Trim Castle, Kilkenny Castle, Kilkea Castle and Adare Manor. #loveireland

Sailing to Alexandria Bay. Boldt Castle. Who pays the $Millions for restoration.
Ep133. In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we take our Sailboat 5 hours down the St Lawrence River to Alexandria Bay where we get a guided tour of Boldt Castle with the man in charge of restoration efforts, Brian Salisbury.
Brian has been working for 25 years on the ongoing restoration of Boldt Castle. After being left vacant and Derelict for over 60 years the Castle and all of it's supporting buildings were crumbling to rubble. To save it, the 1000 Island Bridge Authority took over ownership in 1977 and began restoration efforts making it one of the biggest tourist attractions in the area.
The Bridge Authority is a non-profit organization and takes the proceeds from the 1000 Island Bridge and the fees they charge to come to see Boldt Castle and funnel all that money back into continued renovation and restoration of the grounds.
Many millions have been spent so far and only 1/3 of the 127 room Castle is fully restored. Each time you come back to Boldt Castle there will be some new area completed.
So it is worth coming back to Boldt Castle, even if you have seen it in the past. Things are always changing and new areas are constantly being opened to the public.

Belfast Tourist Attractions ❤ Around Belfast in 60 Seconds
Any visit to Belfast is always good - rain or shine! We spent some time recording some of its best known attractions, shops, buildings and tourist sites. We took a speedy trip around the city - so you can see what your missing! :-)
Where is Belfast? Just in case any visitors are here - Belfast is in Northern Ireland - part of the UK and on the island of Ireland. It has a population of 1.2 million people who are looking towards a brighter future.
Belfast is an amazing city (the capital of Northern Ireland as well) - with even more amazing people. The city has been through the ultimate in ups and as low as they can go - downs. It was an industrial powerhouse in the 18th and 19th centuries and in the early 1900's it was the largest city on the island of Ireland. Sad times were never too far away - from the loss of the Titanic to Belfast being the 2nd most bombed city in the UK - to the troubles that impacted every part of Northern Ireland - the city has suffered more than most (
But the people of the city set it apart, from sitting having a tea - to drinking a beer in their local town. What else to say :-) Its a crazy, small city with loads of offers for locals and different places for the visitors to come and check.
So put Belfast on your list - if visiting Ireland or even the UK - well worth considering due to the local attractions. Belfast tours are available on foot, bus, car, air and water! Travel to Belfast is easy with two airports and the motorway from Dublin.
This video features - Belfast City Hall, Belfast Shopping, Cathedral Quarter ( Albert Clock, Queen's University, Victoria Square Shopping Centre, Titanic Museum, Nomadic SS, Keywest band playing at the city bandstand and more ;-)
Belfast city happens to be one of those European cities that carries a lot of history inside and thus will be always calling out for tourists to come and spend a couple of days in. There are lots of things to be seen in the city and from those which we have been to before, there is the famous City Hall building ( we also visited St. Anne's Cathedral which happens to be a famous cathedral in the city ( and walked through Victoria Square which is famous with being a shopping destination.
In addition to those buildings, there are other things that made a mark in the history of Belfast, such as losing the famous Titanic ship and which was built in Belfast and thus there has been a memorial placed in the garden of City Hall and there is also the Titanic museum to be found in the city ( Titanic has a smaller sister which is known as SS Nomadic and which back then helped in transporting the passengers from the land to the Titanic Ship. After more than 100 years, the SS Nomadic is back in Belfast where it is now turned into a touristic attraction that people could visit (
Among those famous landmarks found in Belfast city, Northern Ireland, there is Albert Tower which lots of those tourists visiting Belfast manage to place it on the list of things they would be doing and seeing there ( And finally, through the tour we have been doing to bring this video out to life and get more introduced to Belfast, we also came across Queen's University which opened back in 1849 (
All those Belfast attractions were passed by in a quick tour taken around the city but you could of course stop at every single one of them, enter if you are allowed to, and take all the pictures that you want; just make a good plan, know what are the attractions that are located close to one another and how long are you going to spend in every single one of them in order to visit those close ones all at the same day.
There are different other attractions that one could visit in Belfast and which are also considered very famous but the ones we already mentioned above are the landmarks of the city. From those other attractions, one could visit the Crumlin Road Gaol which is an old jail that has served for more than 150 years before closing its doors and being transformed into a touristic attraction site ( There is also the Belfast Castle which is an old castle building that tourists love to come across as well (
Being the capital city of Northern Ireland is not the only reason for those heading to Northern Ireland to visit, but Belfast is also an attraction because it is the largest city and carries lots of historical attractions and places that people could visit, and it is also the second largest city on the island of Ireland as a whole.

Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy.

Visit Blarney Castle Tips for Visiting Blarney Castle, Ireland
What to Know about Visiting Blarney Castle in Ireland.
Kissing the Blarney Stone and being gifted the gift of gab is a typical tourist stop when they visit Ireland. Blarney Castle is located about 30 minutes from the city of Cork and can be a fun day trip from Cork. Here are a few things you should know when you go to visit Blarney Castle.
1. Blarney Castle is Popular with Tour Groups: Blarney castle can get overrun with tour groups during the high season and even sometimes in the off season. Tour buses usually start showing up about 30 minutes after the grounds open. So to beat the lines be there first thing in the morning or visit late in the afternoon closer to closing time when most tour companies have left.
2. Don't Expect to See Period Pieces in the Castle: Blarney castle is mostly an empty ruin of a castle. The rooms are empty and they have little to no furniture in them. They do have renderings of how the rooms used to look.
3. Getting Up to the Blarney Stone Can Be Claustrophobic: getting up to the top and getting back down from kissing the Blarney Stone can be a claustrophobic person's nightmare. The circular staircases are very small and tight (the castle is a few hundred years old) and with all the tourists it can take some time to get to the top. So if you have limited mobility you may want to pass.
4. Kissing the Blarney Stone: Yes, you will kiss a stone that millions of others have kissed, so get over the hygiene issues. You will lie on your back and an attendant will help push you over the edge to kiss the stone upside down and then drag you back.
5. There is More Than Just the Castle: the grounds contain a manor house you can visit, a number of gardens that you can check out. We liked the Fern Garden with the waterfall and the Poison Garden which has plants that are poisonous to humans, so you may want to pay attention a bit more to your little ones if you pass by.
6. Don't Come Hungry: there are a couple of food options on the grounds at Blarney Castle, but nothing to write home about, so it may be best to eat before you come or have a snack in your bag.
7. Getting There: Blarney Castle is about 20-30 minutes from Cork by car. There are buses and tour companies that can bring you our to the castle grounds daily.

IRELAND: Newgrange, Trim Castle & Bective Abbey
IRELAND: Newgrange, Trim Castle & Bective Abbey | TRAVEL VLOG
Newgrange, aka Brú na Bóinne, was one of the top places on my list to visit in Ireland. It's a Neolithic passage-type burial chamber that was built around 3200 BC, making it older than both Stonehenge and the Egyptian Pyramids! On my first full day in Ireland, I took a small group tour that went there, as well as to The Hill of Tara, Bective Abbey, and Trim Castle. We even visited a fairy tree and made wishes!
I HIGHLY recommend Sacred Irish Tours ( with Liam Lawlor! He was amazingly knowledgeable, but more importantly, he is obviously passionate about the subject and made the whole day fascinating!

Great Irish Castles (Blarney, Dublin, Kilkenny, Ross, Rock of Cashel, Dunguaire)
We visited several castles during our 2 week tour of Ireland. There's some much great Irish history behind each one. I think my favorites were Blarney Castle, where we kissed the infamous Blarney Stone, Dublin Castle with its history as a royal residence, and the Rock of Cashel, which dates back 900 years.
Here are the start times for each castle:
0:00 Introduction
0:05 Blarney Castle (Kissing the Blarney Stone)
3:57 Dublin Castle
5:33 Kilkenny Castle
7:09 Ross Castle
8:39 Rock of Cashel
