Bygone Ireland

Marino House - Co.Cork

Ireland has its share of abandoned buildings.

Castles, stately homes, cottages and churches are

dotted all over the country side,

some are but ruins long enveloped by nature, others

 are still hanging on, ivy sneaking inside open windows, 
moss painting everything in shades of green,

but still here and there you can see some glimpses of the life 
that once existed in these places, layers of peeling wall paper, 
a playing card on the floor, suitcases and shoes.

Affane Church - Co.Waterford

Let Tarquin Blake take you on a tour of Abandoned Ireland
let him tell you stories of bloody battles, pacts with the
devil, mysterious happenings and, of course, 
haunted houses and ghosts. 

Glencree House - Co.Cork

 Just remember:
tread gently and leave everything just as you find it!
