More Castlerock




So, our journey continues on the second cliff where we came across an enormous mosoleum which was right on the edge of the cliff. Unfortunately it was locked, so we walked up to the ruins of a 17th century Bishops manor, which really looked much more like a castle. There were sheep grazing within the houses gates, and it was very creepy walking through this shell of a house. We had our lunch on the front steps. Although it was just a ruin, you could really visualize a scene from 250 years ago when the area was in it's prime. It would have been right out of a Jane Austin novel. So neat. We then walked down into the gardens surrounding the estate, then back into town. We went to a local B&B and I had a wonderful cafe mocha and a cinnamon roll which hit the spot after hiking for 3 hours. We got the train back to Derry and just relaxed for the rest of the night.
