"Perched at Three Castle Head in County Cork, this 13th-century ruin sits atop cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and is one of Ireland’s oldest fortifications, exemplifying dry stone masonry and Norman architecture. A hike up to the site rewards visitors with dramatic coastal views and an evocative look at the remains; local legend warns of the ghostly Lady in White said to roam the grounds." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.
