Yet another castle from me here. This is Red Bay Castle taken from the coast road heading south, just after the small town of Cushendall in County Antrim. I believe good views are to be had from there but only by trespassing! The first castle here was built around the 13th century on an Anglo-Norman motte but the one we see here was built around 1652 after another from 1561 by Sir James McDonnell was burned to the ground, re-built, and then further destroyed by Cromwell in 1652. Yes a lot of history here. This ruin is only a small part of the original castle. See PiP for close-up view. Enjoy full screen.
