In the family room, all the floors and rooves have been romoved and so you can just see straight out the top.

back on the trail.
the kitchen...see how the ground slopes down at the bottom of that slit window thats because that is where they used to dump hot oil on intruders.
little doorways it's amazing how people lived in this castle.
Me kissing the stone!!!!!!....Now I have the gift of Irish Gab!!!

An Oubliette....LIKE IN THE LABRYNTH!!!!

the entrance to the garden place...
It was very pretty

The wishing steps if you can walk up and down the steps with your eyes closed the witch will grant you a wish.
