Dungeons with a sea view

Dungeons with a sea view, originally uploaded by ardeton_quartet.

I’m not normally a fan of museums, but this castle in Gorey was different. The castle has seen many changes over it’s 800 year history, yet still stands tall having been built into the pre-existing coastline.

You’re not herded around exhibits, but instead explore the winding staircases. There are even motion-sensors to start up exhibits, like the body pit with it’s shadows of skeletons- not for the easily scared!

Then, as a reward you get powerful binoculars to look at the houses along the French coast… Leaving the rest of the day to plan our next holiday whilst sitting on the beach…
