Carrickfergus Castle






No visit to Ireland is complete without a tour of a 12th century castle.  This one was subsequently equipped with some impressive cannons.  Known as the 'maiden' castle, Carrickfergus was under siege 3 separate times but never penetrated.

Also, we learned, it's good to be the king - you get your own private bathroom equipped with medieval plumbing.  Can you spot it?
