Mulgrave Barracks picturesque Ruins

You got a great one here well worth a look around till I saw the no trespassing sign . Just love the view on the PIP. I find it interesting no history of the grand old building.

Nice to see you here Steve. Yep, a lonely place really - just down from the Ladies View car park but on a bit of road with a nasty bend and double yellow lines. Nothing on the net about this other than one other photo I found. Probably somebodies idea of grandeur in an old farm house ? The pip - you have seen that shot before.
Cheers, Herb

Wonderful shot, nicely framed.

Thanks a lot John. ~ Herb

WOW, these ruins are very impressive and pretty, Herb ! A gorgeous place !!!

Ah yes - it may look gorgeous but we can't get in any closer. as you can see it is all fenced off (maybe an HFF contender here :) ) . Nevertheless, like you, I like this -looking as if it could adorn an old romantic story book cover or at least a fine painting over a roaring fire in its grand fireplace.
Thank you Marie-claire. ~ Herb

A wonderful blend of nature and man made, if it was part of an estate it could have been built as a 'garden ornament' possibly to look like a ruin

Hi Peter, well since you was here last, Keith, below, has found out the real answers to what, who and why. Without the info, this is a far more romantic place but, ah well, that's reality for you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers, Herb

Interesting structure in a nicely composed image Herb,
Superb light by the way

A wonderful spot to greet you, very much by surprise on this wild road Roger, as it is hardly marked on the map. Its history in a link below by courtesy of Keith.

Regards, Herb

Maravilloso encuadre !!!

Glad you like my 'encouadre' Karp ~ Herb

Another fine Image Herb looks a little like a painting especially the tower.
Regards TOZ.

Thanks for that Toz. Indeed it portrays very well as a painting -help along slightly by someone :) Very happy that you enjoyed it. ~ Herb

Herb..........could this be the same place: lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-fieldnotes/mulgravebarracks .......it's in the right area and looks pretty similar!

A cracking shot, whatever it's origins. I love the composition and the light and viewed large it's easy to see the fantastic amount of fine detail you've captured.

And finally I get down to the hero of the moment! Keith, you have cracked it here with your excellent research, of which I have tried to give you full credit. It is certainly the same place, however, I am somewhat saddened by the reality of truth in this building. All my romantic bubbles of a maid crying from the tower and her knight trying to rescue her, popped! Thanks so much for this and you demonstrate again how we, here on Ipernity can help each other.
Of course, delighted that you liked my image too.
Cheers, Herb

Ha, ha...........you're welcome. Sorry to spoil the romance though :-))

A romantic castle ruin!

Yes, we can keep it that way my friend - or read the info on Keith link!

Cheers, Herb

A wonderful view to this beautiful castle !

Thanks Ulrich, glad you liked this. The full story in Keith's link, above. ~ Herb

yes, it looks ancient... very beautiful moody picture !
and there is also a fence :)
happy new week !

Ah, good that you noticed the fence too -they are just everywhere, you know. A fine looking ruined castle indeed, until you read the story via Keith's link, above.

Regards, Herb

PS: the panoramic is spectacular !

Thanks for that too.

Interesting shot, and history Herb... Nice PiP.... John.

Good to see you followed both John.

Best Wishes, Herb

Oh..that’s what it is! It intrigued me when we were in that spot in 2015....now I know!
Lovely shot, Herb.

Ah yes, I bet there are an awful lot of people who have sen this, caught a quick snap and then later wondered what kind of place it was. Keith has put it all to rights for us here. Glad you enjoyed it. ~ Herb

Interesting ruins and looking far older than they are!

Hi George, happy that you enjoyed another of my Irish tour pictures here. My research did seem to suggest that it may have been once an earlier building but that was not clear.
Cheers, Herb

Good shot Herb, has a lovely rural feel to it.

Thanks a lot Greg- rural, it certainly was.

Cheers, Herb

Superb!

My thanks Andy. Cheers, Herb

Hi Herb

Very nice picture of this ruin, and great info too.

I had visited this on the evening of 8 June 2012, photographed it (I seem to remember putting it on Pano), but had no idea what it was. Thank you so much for sharing your picture and your knowledge!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend

Peter
