Going to dublin from cork, it's hard not to notice the castle atop the hill, we were wondering how to get there, it took us another trip to get the glimpse of the name:The Rock of Cashel.     Standing on the limestone rock, the castle's presence dominates the whole town .The Rock …

We pulled into Cashel just at lunch time and were prompted escorted upstairs to the café/diner directly above the gift shop and store below.  A rather unusual setup but the tour director had made all the arrangements ahead and the cooks and helpers were all ready for large group.  We had…
